A review of aerodynamics research connected to sport projectiles is presented here. The
review's focus is on work conducted in the current millennium, though deference is made to …

Winter sports events routinely take place at low to moderate altitudes, and nearly all Winter
Olympic Games have had at least one venue at an altitude> 1000 m. The acute and chronic …

Ski jumping puts high demands on the athlete's ability to control posture and movement. The
athlete has to solve extremely difficult optimization problems. These implicit decisions and …

To determine the flight of a ski jumper it is essential to know what aerodynamic forces are
acting on the ski jumper. However, few data on this are available, especially for a V-style ski …

Ski jumping is an expert sport that requires fine motor skills to guarantee the safe conduct of
training and competition. In this paper, we therefore employed multiple inertial sensors to …

The flight period of ski jumping involves aerodynamic considerations. Reasonable controls
and adjustments of in-flight body attitudes are beneficial to improve the aerodynamic …

Simple Summary Flight distance determines the score of ski jumping and thus should be
elongated in the competitions. Research has found that an analysis of aerodynamics is …

A single isolated ski was suspended from a six-component wind tunnel balance and three
angles, the angle of attack, the yaw angle and the edge angle were adjustable during the …

Simple Summary The adjustment of ski attitude during the flight period of ski jumping aims to
improve the aerodynamic performance and thus enlarges the flying distance. Previous …

Skiing and snowboarding have become more acrobatic with terrain park jumps and other
manmade features playing a prominent role in an increase in serious spinal cord injuries …
