Inline skating as an additional activity for alpine skiing: the role of the outside leg in turn performance

In alpine skiing, the role of the outside leg is crucial in successful turn performance. Due to the complexity of the skiing movements, recreational alpine skiers must incorporate many offseason alternative sports which include similar coordination structures and general movements. By measuring biomechanical parameters in this research, one could define whether there is an objective similarity of the outside leg movements while performing a turn in inline skating (IS) and alpine skiing (AS). The main findings of our study are defined similarities in pressure distribution during IS and AS and noticed differences in kinematic parameters of the outside leg between the mentioned activities. IS can be used for solving more complex problems of skiing technique and adopting some specific high level motor skills. Therefore, we recommend IS as an additional activity for skiers who have developed at least basic AS technique to avoid interference with the learning process.
