Is Teaching Basics of Alpine Ski Technique More Efficaceous by Using Exercises Based Exclusively on An Outer Ski?

Regardless of the alpine ski school program, ski beginners need to learn movements essential for specific turn phases in order to control speed and direction of skiing. Some ski schools insist from the beginning phases on an optimal ski position, which principally relates to the distribution of weight exclusively on the outer ski. But, some ski schools base their programs on stabile balance position through putting weight on both skies. The aim of this research was to determine the differences in the kinematic parameters of lower extremities during parallel turn in case of pressure distribution on outer ski exclusively compared to both skies. Kinematic analysis was conducted on 28 turns (14 in both conditions) using Xsens kinematic suit. Parameters were measured while performing parallel turn. Results of MANOVA showed significant difference between parallel turn performed in both conditions (F=255, 06 ; p=0, 04). Hip abduction was smaller during parallel turn performed on outer ski when compared to turn on both skies. Mentioned suggests better body position during parallel turn when performed exclusively on the outer ski.
