Context: Alpine skiing is a popular sport worldwide but has significant risk for injury. The
epidemiology of skiing-related injuries has been described, which has led to the …

The purpose of the present review was to: 1) provide an overview of the current
understanding on the epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, and prevention methods for …

In alpine skiing, estimation of the joint moments acting onto the skier is essential to quantify
the loading of the skier during turning maneuvers. In the present study, a novel forward …

Background Our goal was to summarize and contextualize the available literature on alpine
ski racing injury epidemiology, injury etiology, injury prevention measures, injury prevention …

Biomechanical simulation allows for in silico estimations of biomechanical parameters such
as muscle, joint and ligament forces. Experimental kinematic measurements are a …

Competitive skiers encounter a high risk of sustaining an ACL injury during jump-landing in
downhill ski racing. Facing an injury-prone landing manoeuvre, there is a lack of knowledge …

In alpine skiing, estimation of the muscle forces and joint loads such as the forces in the ACL
of the knee are essential to quantify the loading pattern of the skier during turning …

Background Competitive skiers face a high risk of sustaining an ACL injury during jump
landing in downhill skiing. There is a lack of knowledge on how landing height affects this …

Activation of the hamstrings has been discussed as a measure for reducing strain on the
ACL during jump landings in alpine skiing. The current study tested the hypothesis that …

ACL-injuries are one of the most common knee injuries in noncontact sports. Kinematic data
of injury prone situations provide important information to study the underlying ACL-injury …
