Skiing – equipment, injury risk etc.

Perform Skiing movement analysis with the AnyBody Modeling System and investigate muscle activity and joint loading during various skiing techniques. Import, test, and evaluate different skiing equipment and its interaction with the human body as a way of product optimization. Compare across product variations and models of different anthropometrics to assess injury risk and performance.

Examples:

  • Performance analysis in cross-country sit-skiing
  • Skiing efficiency
  • Biomechanics of Cross-country skiing
  • Equipment development
  • Injury prevention strategies
