Abstract Fernandez-Fernandez, J, Sanz-Rivas, D, Sanchez-Muñoz, C, Pluim, BM,
Tiemessen, I, and Mendez-Villanueva, A. A comparison of the activity profile and …

Important insight into ski function, and ultimately skier technique and tactics, can be gained
by studying how measured ski trajectories compare to predictions based on theoretical …

Despite a large body of lay and professional literature covering numerous aspects of alpine
skiing technique, only a limited number of published scientific investigations have examined …

Modeling of ski friction requires an in-depth understanding of the ski-snow contact. For this
aim, we implemented the Euler–Bernoulli beam equations for an embedded cross-country …

Skiing manufacturers depend on the development of new skis on trial and error cycles and
extensive product testing. Simulation tools, such as the finite element method, might be able …

Alpine ski races are typically won by fractions of a second. It is therefore essential for ski
racers to minimize air drag as well as ski–snow friction. In contrast to air drag, ski–snow …

Objectives In this study, we examined the practicability of deep learning-based 2D keypoint
detection applied to regular skiing and injury situations (ie, out-of-balance situations and fall …

The sidecut-induced reduction in ground reaction force and the sidecut-induced increase in
centre of mass and ski turn radius observed in this study provides indirect evidence of …

The macroscopic contact area between ski and snow and the contact pressure are crucial
influencing factors for carved turns in Alpine skiing. In the present paper, a simulation model …

A new sensor for detecting ski bending and torsional deflection during an actual ski turn on
the snow has been developed. It consisted of bending and torsion sensors connected by …
