Hierarchical Classification of Expert Models of Exercises Designed to Eliminate Specific Mistakes Occuring in Short Ski Turn

The aim of the present study was to examine the structure of an expert model of exercises designed to eliminate the Lack of specific ski movement mistake in short ski turn, as well as offer a hierarchical classification of the expert model. For this purpose, a two-stage research was conducted. During the first stage of the research the exercises with the purpose of Lack of specific ski movement mistake elimination were designed by 20 skiing experts aged 25 to 45. By means of email and coordinated by the paper author, the experts first designed a model of 14 methodical exercises and subsequently selected the five most relevant ones, ranking them on a scale from 1 to 5. A nonparametric chi - square test (χ2) was used. The research showed there was no significant variation across the experts’ evaluation of the five most important methodical exercises (χ2=21, 69 ; p=0, 06). The expert model of the most important methodical exercises for the Lack of specific ski movement mistake correction thus includes the following: Holding a ski stick under the handle, Jump turns, Hands on hips, Unbuttoned ski boots and Ski poles in vertical position in forwards. 307 skiing professionals of various levels of expertise participated in the second stage of the research, whose aim was to classify the Lack of specific ski movement mistake elimination exercises. The participants’ task was to rank the exercises based on their relevance. Total amounts of rank sums (ΣR) were calculated, the Kruskal- Wallis test (H-test) was carried out, and the corresponding levels of significance (p) were recorded, for the purpose of comparing the significance of diversity between rank sums and the expert model. The statistically significant difference was found between the rank sums (ΣR) of the most efficient exercises for the Lack of specific ski movement mistake correction (H=198, 19 ; p<0, 001). The results obtained in the two stages of the research provide valuable insights regarding the methodology of short ski turns. The hierarchical classification of the most important methodical corrective exercises obtained from ski teachers and professionals with different levels of education and expertise yields accurate and precise data about corrective methodical exercises in the process of studying short ski turn. Any further research regarding the same object should evaluate the designed expert model of the most important methodical exercises, as well as their hierarchical classification, across different groups of participants.
