Carving‐turn descents were performed with carving skis (shaped skis) and conventional
skis. The two types of skis exhibited the following common characteristics during carving turn …

Abstract Carved turns with Alpine Skis were investigated using a computer simulation
model. Varied input data to the model were the bending stiffness of the skis, the edging …

A model was developed to calculate the turning characteristics of alpine skis. The skis
considered are constructed of layers of materials which may include wood, foam, metal …

Joint angle motion and reacting forces in the ski turn using a 'carving ski'with short side
curve radius have been measured to be compared with those in a turn using a conventional …

We compared selected kinematic variables for four different ski turn techniques performed
by five experienced and five intermediate male skiers. The four ski turn techniques were the …

The purpose of this research was to investigate the differences in the ski carving turn motion
according to level of expertise. The posture and movement of 6 skiers nearby the fall-line …

This study examined the influence of turn radius on velocity and energy profiles when
skidding and step turning during more and less effective downhill turns while cross-country …

Three dominant techniques are used for downhill turning in cross‐country skiing. In this
study, kinematic, kinetic, and temporal characteristics of these techniques are described and …

Alpine ski racing technique undergoes a continual process of evolution that is driven to a
large extent by advances in equipment and the technical development of a select group of …

A snow ski turning at a constant radius and a constant speed is analyzed through a model of
the skier/snow/ski dynamic system. The skier is modeled as a rigid body pivoted at the ski; …
