INTRODUCTION These regulations prescribe organization of the CISM world military skiing championships (WMSC) and other CISM skiing competitions, including general rules for CISM Military World Winter Games (WWG). In different disciplines International Ski Federation (FIS), International Biathlon Union (IBU), International Orienteering Federation (IOF) and International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF) are also used, but in case of discrepancies arising from interpretation of the regulations, CISM Regulations for Skiing (this regulation) will prevail. CISM military skiing championships and other CISM skiing competitions are organized throughout the year. The World Military Skiing Championship is, in principle, held each year; CISM Military World Winter Games are organized every four years. The official designation of the championship is provided at articles 7.19 and 7.20 of the CISM Regulations. Dates of the championships are determined through the coordination of the host nation nominated to organize the Championship, CISM Sport Committee for skiing (CSC Ski) and international federations governing each sport. The CSC Ski will confirm the final dates. 4 4 2.2.3. ADDITIONAL ALPINE DISCIPLINE Slalom in case that giant slalom is organized as obligatory discipline (Women and Men). 2.2.4.

  • Geometry and Running of the Alpine Skiing Fis World Cup
    GEOMETRY AND RUNNING OF THE ALPINE SKI FIS WORLD CUP GIANT SLALOM PART ONE - GEOMETRY Wlodzimierz S. Erdmann, Andrzej Suchanowski and Piotr Aschenbrenner Jedrzej Sniadecki University School of Physical Education, Gdansk, Poland The aim of this paper is the presentation of the geometry of the alpine ski giant slalom at the highest world level in order to calculate the obtained time by videorecording velocity and acceleration of running. KEY WORDS: alpine skiing, giant slalom, fis world cup, geometry INTRODUCTION: In alpine skiing the role of a coach is a difficult one. This is due in part, to the fact that during the competition he would be unable to observe the athlete for the entire track, regardless of the position he chose, because of the extensive terrain. Before the competition the organizing committee provides data only on general description of the course, i.e. the length of the slope (measured usually without snow) and few data on the incline of the slope. Unfortunately, no data on geometry of gates is supplied to the coaches. During the competition the time of running of the entire course and of one or two segments of the course are displayed. These data do not provide sufficient information with which to evaluate adequately an athlete’s performance on the course. Possession of detailed data on the geometry of the poles setting and on the time of the running between them would allow the coach to more accurately assess the performance of the skier on the course, i. e. what velocity and acceleration he had achieved between the gates.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. It is well known that athletes from a specific region or country are dominating certain sports disciplines such as marathon running or Ironman triathlon; however, little relevant information exists on cross-country skiing. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the aspect of region and nationality in one of the largest cross-country skiing marathons in Europe, the “Engadin Ski Marathon.” All athletes ( = 197,125) who finished the “Engadin Ski Marathon” between 1998 and 2016 were considered. More than two-thirds of the finishers (72.5% in women and 69.6% in men) were Swiss skiers, followed by German, Italian, and French athletes in both sexes. Most of the Swiss finishers were from Canton of Zurich (20.5%), Grisons (19.2%), and Berne (10.3%).

Training and periodization for snowboard cross, parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom. Science of Sport Coaching and Fitness Testing. Coaching Seminar, LBIA016, Department of Biology of Physical Activity, Univer- sity of Jyväskylä, 42 pages. Snowboarding is a popular recreational sport, but it is also an elite sport. Snowboarding has been an Olympic sport since 1998. There will be five different snowboarding disci- plines competed in Winter Olympics in Sochi 2014 (half-pipe, parallel giant slalom, parallel slalom, snowboard cross and slopestyle). Most of the snowboard cross and par- allel event competitions are organized by International Ski Federation (FIS). FIS also organizes the World Cup and every second year Snowboard World Championships. Snowboarding environment is challenging. Riders are frequently exposed to training in cold environments and at high altitudes. Because snowboarding is a technical sport snowboarders spend extensive time on-snow training. Apart from that elite snowboard- ers need to have a good physical fitness. Snowboarders experiences high ground reac- tion forces (McAlpine 2010). They also need to have good aerobic fitness, anaerobic capacity as well as good balance and power production capacity (Bakken et al. 2011; Bosco 1997; Creswell & Mitchell 2009; Neumayer et al. 2003; Platzer at al. 2009; Szmedra et al. 2001; Veicsteinas et al. 1984). Also, coaches have to pay attention to injury prevention because snowboarders, especially snowboard cross riders, have high risk of injuries (Flørenes et al.

Seven mountain runners participated in this study. They competed in vertical (VR), 10-25 km, 25-45 km and >45 km races. The HR response was measured during the races to calculate the exercise intensity and PL according to the HR at which both the ventilatory (VT) and respiratory compensation threshold (RCT) occurred. The exercise intensity below VT and between VT and RCT increased with mountain running race distance. Likewise, the percentage of racing time spent above RCT decreased when race duration increased. However, the time spent above RCT was similar between races (~50 min). The PL was significantly higher (p<.05) during the longest races (145.0±18.4, 288.8±72.5, 467.3±109.9 and 820.8±147.0 AU in VR, 10-25 km, 25-45 km and >45 km, respectively). The ratio of PL to accumulative altitude gain was similar in all races (~0.16 AU·m-1).

  • JSP 660 Sport in the UK Armed Forces Part 1
    cos JSP 660 Sport in the UK Armed Forces Part 1: Directive JSP 660 Pt 1 (V2.3 Feb 21) Foreword People lie at the heart of operational capability; attracting and retaining the right numbers of capable, motivated individuals to deliver Defence outputs is critical. This is dependent upon maintaining a credible and realistic offer that earns and retains the trust of people in Defence. In order to achieve this, all personnel must be confident that, not only will they be treated fairly, but also that their families will be treated properly and that Service veterans and their dependants will be respected and appropriately supported. Sport makes a significant contribution to the delivery of operational capability; indeed it is a core activity in the UK Armed Forces. I am therefore most eager to encourage the active participation of all ranks at all levels of sport. I am aware that the majority of sport is organised by Service personnel on a voluntary basis; knowledge of, and access to, the necessary regulation of activities can be difficult. This important document brings together the policies for, and detailed guidance on, the conduct of sport in the UK Armed Forces. I commend it to all your staff involved in sporting activity and in particular to your sports association officials who deliver sport at and above unit level. Lt Gen James Swift Chief of Defence People People Functional Owner i JSP 660 Pt 1 (V2.3 Feb 21) Preface How to use this JSP 1.

The mass start was used, for example, in the one of the first races, the ‘Inferno’ in Mürren Switzerland, developed by a group of British skiers. Modern variations of the ‘mass start’ concept were first used in snowboarding and now in skiing since the late 1990’s. Ski Cross is an action packed event with Athletes using a combination of skills competing head to head on a Cross Course with rollers, bank turns and jumps, all done with an attitude. “First through the finish wins.” SKI CROSS OVERVIEW Internationally, Ski Cross is governed by the Freestyle branch of the FIS and therefore the FIS Freestyle ICR is the rule book used to govern Ski Cross. The instructions and rules contained in this document are only a summary of the rules of Ski Cross. THE HISTORY OF SKI CROSS The Canadian Ski Cross team was formed in June of 2007 after the IOC decision to include the freestyle discipline into the Olympic program for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (OWG) in Vancouver, BC - following a very successful introduction of its sibling discipline Snowboard Cross at the 2006 OWG in Torino, Italy. In essence the Alpine Canada Ski Cross program focused solely on World Cup, World Championships, and Olympic Winter Games performance in alignment with the funding requirements set forth via Own The Podium (OTP).
