The Impact of Ground Reaction Forces Across Ski Turn Phases: A Systematic Review
Session
Sport
Description
Study aim(s): This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the existing literature focusing on the impact of ground reaction forces in specific phases of alpine skiing turns.
Methods: We carried out systematic searches on databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, utilizing the keywords "ground reaction forces in alpine skiing." The studies encompassed in this review center on assessing how ground reaction forces influence distinct phases of the ski turn.
Results: Within this review, a range of research papers are covered, including assessments of alpine skiers (5 studies), three-dimensional kinematic data analysis (2 studies), and systematic reviews (2 studies). Remarkable findings encompass differences in ground reaction forces throughout distinct ski turn phases, differences between feet (inside and outside), the influence of slope steepness, and Discipline-Specific Forces.
Conclusions: Our analysis has provided valuable insights into the role of ground reaction forces in ski turns. It was observed that the peak of this force is most pronounced during the Steering phase, particularly in 'Steering 2.' The outside foot actively plays a role in the turning process, encountering heightened ground reaction forces, while the inside foot contributes to stability. On steeper slopes, these forces are amplified. Achieving peak ski turn performance relies on the early and smooth application of ground reaction forces.
