Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Biomechanics
  • Skiing Performance Analysis

Background:

  • Mogul skiing demands precise technique and body control.
  • Objective measurement tools are needed to analyze skiing dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of a novel force measurement device on mogul skiing technique.
  • To assess the impact on kinematic parameters and skier perception.

Main Methods:

  • A mock-up force measurement device was integrated between the ski boot and binding.
  • Three-dimensional kinematics (knee angle, trunk lean, center of mass path) and subjective perception data were collected from eight skiers.
  • Analysis included kinematic variables and a perception questionnaire.
