Eckert Date Dean of Graduate Education and Research ABSTRACT GENERAL STRENGTH AND MUSCULAR ENDURANCE: RELATIONSHIP TO V1- AND V2-SKATE SKIING ECONOMY IN COLLEGIATE CROSS-COUNTRY SKIERS By Ian Michael Torchia Introduction Cross-country skiing is a power-endurance sport requiring upper and lower body activation for propulsion across the ground. While high aerobic markers such as VO2max and lactate threshold are important performance indicators, recent research has demonstrated the importance of full-body general strength and muscular endurance in skiing success. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of strength indices via a full-body series of muscular endurance tests, as well as a general 1-RM strength test, to VO2 skiing economy utilizing the V1- and V2- skate technique. Methods Oxygen uptake was measured during baseline and economy testing on a specialized skiing treadmill. A paired samples t-test was utilized to determine differences between V1- and V2-skate skiing economy. Correlation analysis was used to identify relationships of strength and endurance indices to skiing economy values. Furthermore, a stepwise regression with resampling cross-validation (25 holdout groups) was performed to determine the best predictor of skiing economy. Results The results of the study found no significant differences between V1- and V2-skate skiing economy VO2 values (p>0.05), as well as other metabolic variables. Pearson partial correlation analysis controlling for sex revealed weight, V1 RER, V2 RER, and shoulder extension were positively correlated with V2 oxygen uptake (p<0.05). Shoulder extension and FIS distance points i were positively correlated with V1 oxygen uptake (p<0.05). Stepwise regression resampling cross- validation found shoulder extension to be the best predictor of V1 & V2 skiing economy. Conclusion The crossover point of no significant differences in oxygen uptake between V1- & V2-skate was found to be at a greater velocity and grade than previously reported literature. Less oxygen uptake during V1-skate was an indicator of distance racing performance, as a majority of competition time is spent racing uphill utilizing the aforementioned technique. Greater general strength and muscular endurance were not correlated to greater V1 and V2 skiing economy as hypothesized. ii Copyright by Ian Michael Torchia 2019 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would firstly like to thank the 2018-2019 Northern Michigan University Cross-Country Skiing Team for their hard efforts during the many testing sessions I put them through.

  • 2021-22 NYSEF Freeride Program Info
    2021 - 2022 NYSEF Freeride Program We use the term Freeride to define the many disciplines within the sports of skiing and snowboarding not related to traditional nordic or alpine ski racing. Below are descriptions of each of the disciplines and some of the terminology used to describe each. Freestyle skiing – The foundation for what we call Freestyle skiing are the traditional sports of Moguls(M) and Aerials(A). The word “freestyle '' can also be used as a general term to describe snowboarding & skiing disciplines such as Halfpipe, Slopestyle, & Railjam which involves tricks, jumps, and terrain park features, such as rails, boxes, jibs, or other obstacles. Slopestyle (SS) – a judged skiing/snowboarding event held on a terrain-park course consisting of a variety of jumps, boxes, and rails. Skiercross (SX) – Also called Ski Cross. Downhill race with as many as six athletes in a heat on a course consisting of a variety of jumps, banked turns, and rollers. Athletes are normally seeded by way of an individual time trial prior to heat racing. The top athletes in each heat advance to the next round while the others are eliminated. Boardercross (BX) – Also called Snowboard Cross (SBX). Same as above with snowboarders. Railjam(RJ)(R) – Railjams are ski and/or snowboard events held solely on rails or box features in a jam-style format. In this format athletes take as many runs as possible in a predetermined time period and may or may not proceed to a final round. Can be judged by a panel of judges or by the competitors themselves.

Fifteen skiers (males, n = 9, females, n = 6) volunteered to participate in this study. Data acquisition was carried out using a wireless inertial measurement device (WIMUTM PRO: hybrid location system GNSS at 18 Hz with a precision locator UltraWideband UWD (<10 cm) and 3D accelerometers 1000 Hz) where distances covered in different speed and acceleration thresholds and Citation: B. Alejo, L.; Gil-Cabrera, J.; impacts above 5g were recorded in each of the disciplines. Male and female alpine skiers showed Montalvo-Pérez, A.; Barranco-Gil, D.; different physical parameters and impacts even though they competed in the same courses in the Hortal-Fondón, J.; Navandar, A.

  • Development of a Speed Model for Terrain Park Jumps
    Project Number: CAB-001 ` THE DEVELOPMENT & SOCIETAL IMPACTS OF A SPEED MODEL FOR TERRAIN PARK JUMPS An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Heather M. La Hart Date: Professor Chris A. Brown, IQP Advisor 1. Safety Analysis & Liability Project Number: CAB-001 ABSTRACT The objective of this project was to develop ways to design safer terrain parks. Two separate models, The Geometrical Jump Design Model and The Speed Model, were developed and produced criteria for the initial design and predicted the speed for any jump. To understand the opinions of society on terrain park safety and this research, questionnaires were distributed within the skiing culture. Through field data and surveys it was found that utilizing terrain park design models and integrating them into society and terrain would mostly be welcomed and used. ii Project Number: CAB-001 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to acknowledge Dan Delfino a fellow friend and student at WPI for his ongoing and continuous help, additions, and support of this project over the past two years. I would also like to thank my advisor Professor Chris Brown for the inspiration of this project, his continuous hard but helpful criticism, advice, guidance, and support throughout the entirety of this research. I would like to thank Hanna St.John for providing me a place to stay while conducting my research and support in Colorado. I would also like to thank the resorts of Copper Mountain and Breckenridge Mountain which made collecting data for this research possible.

  • Ski Orienteering Now in the Winter Universiade 2021 Programme
    Media Release Lucerne, 2nd July 2019 Ski orienteering now in the Winter Universiade 2021 programme Even more sport at the Winter Universiade 2021: ski orienteering will be included in the competition programme as the 10th discipline. This was decided today by the International University Sports Federation at the request of the Swiss organisers. The competitions will be held in the Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide. Ski orienteering will complete the competition programme of the 30th Winter Universiade in Switzerland from 21 to 31 January 2021: this was decided today by the Executive Committee of the International University Sports Federation FISU at the request of the Swiss organisers. Urs Hunkeler, Managing Director of the Winter Universiade 2021, is delighted with the decision: «Under the leadership of Swiss Orienteering, the international orienteering community has worked very hard to achieve a successful outcome and to secure funding. This is a strong commitment to the Winter Universiade.» «An important milestone in the long-term strategy» After several student world championships, this year ski orienteering was included for the first time in the programme of the world's largest student winter sports event in Krasnoyarsk (Russia). For the international orienteering community, the inclusion in the programme of the 30th Winter Universiade in 2021 is an important milestone in the long-term strategy, as Swiss Orienteering President Jürg Hellmüller explains: «Our goal is to be part of the Winter Universiade mandatory programme. It is therefore of central importance to participate again in two years' time after our first appearance in Krasnoyarsk.» High proportion of students in ski orienteering Ski orienteering, abbreviated to Ski-O, combines the sports of orienteering and cross-country skiing.
