...Bernd Lingelbach; Gernot Jendrusch Polarizing filters are suitable, e.g., for driving/motoring. They also have great advantages for sailing or angling. But are they useful in alpine skiing? A natural source for at least partly polarized light is not only the scattered light in the sky but also...

.... With parameter studies, the effects of slope, tracks, segment properties, ski-snow friction, and velocity of the skier on joint loads and performance of a run can be investigated. Further, injury mechanisms can be analyzed. Alpine skiing carved turn reaction forces reaction moments inverse dynamics...

... especially in female downhill skiers. The combination of both factors results in an additive risk increase. The avoidance of these risk factors could help to reduce the frequency of falls and probably also that of injuries particularly in female skiers. KEYWORDS: alpine skiing, female skiers, injury...

...Jean-Dominique Laporte; Marc-Hervé Binet; Nicolas Fenet; Dominique Constans; Patrick Joubert There has been much discussion in recent years regarding appropriate settings for release bindings in Alpine skiing. The authors take into account the fact that current recommended release criteria...

... was to demonstrate whether laterality of ACL injury exists in various sports activities, including alpine skiing. We hypothesized that the incidence of left knee ACL injury would be higher than that of right knee injury. In the second study, a knee kinematic analysis during a trunk-turning test was conducted...

.... Surprisingly, forward lean caused larger and backward lean smaller turn radii. This phenomenon could be explained by the turn moment of the skier. Both effects were more dominant when the skis skidded. Alpine skiing simulation ski turns ski-snow contact skidding edge angle forward/backward lean...

... that must make a binary decision (release or retain) on the basis of a signal (the load passing through the boot-binding interfaces). The study population is what has come to be known as the Sugarbush study. This study of alpine ski injuries began in 1972 and continues to this day. For this analysis, we...
