BIOMECHANICS & PHYSICS

To understand our skiing motor behavior, it is suitable to differentiate between movements and actions. By movements we mean a […]

Affordances are defined as possibilities for actions we may potentially perform in our environment. It is our perception to decide

If we limit ourselves just to react to the actions executed by others while we ski it would be complex

To plan is to simulate the future before it unfolds. In the high-stakes environment of skiers’ actions, anticipation is the

Action planning can be interpreted as the medium-term programming process we do before descending a slope, which includes path choice,

Actions are the means that constitute our interaction with the mountain through our equipment. It is an active intervention in

Breathing, from a biomechanical perspective, is the mechanical process of ventilation driven by pressure gradients and musculoskeletal coordination. It is

Balance is not a static state of standing still, but a dynamic process of managing forces to maintain equilibrium. In

The transition from a controlled glide to a sudden loss of balance is a defining risk of the skiing experience.

The transition from a controlled glide to a sudden loss of equilibrium is a defining risk of the alpine experience.
