Sažetak
A research is underway aimed at quantifying movement structures in alpine sking by means of kinematic video, kinetic and electromyographic (EMG) data. Signal acquisition is followed by processing including basic signal similarity algorithms applied to quantify the level of locomotor skill displayed by a skier. The comparisons of skiing techniques as well as of types of skies are thus enabled. Time domain processing of EMG and force data confirms, in general, that carving skies impose less demand to the neuromuscular system. This may have implications both to sports training and to minimization of chronic trauma in an average skier.
