Biomechanical agreement between different imitation jumps and hill jumps in ski jumping [PDF]

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2020
Even though the take‐off in ski jumping is decisive, athletes only have a very limited number of training trials on the actual ski jump to practice under real ski jump conditions. Hence, various imitation jumps aiming to mimic the hill jump are performed during daily training.

A screening instrument for side dominance in competitive adolescent alpine skiers

open access: yesFrontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2022
Previous research has shown that high school ski students injure their left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) more often than their right ACL, and that a prevention program focusing on equal load to the right and left ski turns prevents ACL injuries ...

DESCRIPTION OF \u3ci\u3eHAKKA\u3c/i\u3e, A NEW GENUS OF JUMPING SPIDER (ARANEAE, SALTICIDAE) FROM HAWAII AND EAST ASIA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We describe a new genus for a jumping spider that was originally placed in the large genus Menemerus Simon 1868, from which the new genus is clearly different. They were later reclassified as Icius, then as Pseudicius, and still later as Salticus.

Analysis of Landing in Ski Jumping by Means of Inertial Sensors and Force Insoles

open access: yesProceedings, 2018
Landing and its preparation are important phases for performance and safety of ski jumpers. A correct ski positioning could influence the jump length as also the cushioning effect of the aerodynamic forces that permits the reduction of landing impacts ...

xLength: Predicting Expected Ski Jump Length Shortly after Take-Off Using Deep Learning

open access: yesSensors, 2022
With tracking systems becoming more widespread in sports research and regular training and competitions, more data are available for sports analytics and performance prediction. We analyzed 2523 ski jumps from 205 athletes on five venues. For every jump,

Pose estimation and motion analysis of ski jumpers based on ECA-HRNet

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Ski jumping is a high-speed sport, which makes it difficult to accurately analyze the technical motion in a subjective way. To solve this problem, we propose an image-based pose estimation method for analyzing the motion of ski jumpers.

Field-based tests for the assessment of physical fitness in children and adolescents practicing sport: A systematic review within the ESA program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
High levels of physical fitness (PF) can positively affect both health and cognitive function, thus monitoring its levels in youth can help increase health and quality of life in adult populations later on.
