In alpine skiing, four commonly used turning styles are snowplow, snowplow-steering,
drifting and carving. They differ significantly in speed, directional control and difficulty to …

Recent developments in sensing technology have made wearable computing smaller and
cheaper. While many wearable technologies aim to quantify motion, there are few which aim …

Several methodologies have been proposed to determine turn switches in alpine skiing. A
recent study using inertial measurement units (IMU) was able to accurately detect turn switch …

The performance of humanoid robots is improving, owing in part to their participation in robot
games such as the DARPA Robotics Challenge. Along with the 2018 Winter Olympics in …

Many studies on alpine skiing are limited to a few gates or collected data in controlled
conditions. In contrast, it is more functional to have a sensor setup and a fast algorithm that …

Small differences in turn cycle structure, invisible to the naked eye, could be decisive in
improving descent performance. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of turn …

The recent growth and spread of smart sensor technologies make these connected devices
suitable for diagnostic and monitoring in different fields. In particular, these sensors are …

Thanks to wearable sensor technologies, it has become feasible to quantify human
kinematics cheaply and comprehensively during sports. However, it is often left to the user to …

Recent studies have developed wearable sensor systems to detect, classify and evaluate
performance during alpine skiing. In order to enrich skiing data to provide motion quality …

In skiing it is important to know how the skier accelerates and inclines the skis during the
turn to avoid injuries and improve technique. The purpose of this pilot study with three …
