... 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 the reflected light on special...

... 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 are based on midshaft tibia bone strength. The hypothesis of this work is to look at a link...

... 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 to demonstrate the laterality of knee kinematics in female alpine...

... (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 used the first 30 seasons of data...

... This study compared the effects of several variables with respect to measurement of kinetic data collected during alpine skiing. The Novel Pedar System, a portable, in-shoe, pressure distribution measurement system, was used to directly collect field data. One subject with prior experience...

... This work done by 72 French doctors in the “Médecins de Montagne” skiing safety network studies the evolution of the rate of ACL ruptures since 1992. The study was done on 232 571 injuries including 21 303 ACL ruptures. Alpine skiing ACL ruptures, which have been increasing since 1992, represent...

... The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between motivation toward alpine skiing, attitude toward risk-taking behavior, risk-taking behavior, and injury incidence. Participants were skiers over eleven years of age. They completed a questionnaire that investigated skill level...

... Knee injuries in alpine skiing, especially the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), are still the leading indication for surgical treatment. The boot-induced anterior drawer (BIAD) caused by the backward fall is one of the possible injury mechanisms. We investigated the landing...

... The current ASTM ski binding setting standard, Practice for Selection of Release Torque Values for Alpine Ski Bindings (F 939-93), was evaluated by comparing the forces measured during alpine skiing to the ASTM recommended release forces. For a twelve subject sample, the forces and moments...
