  • Orienteering at Brighton Woods
    ORIENTEERING AT BRIGHTON WOODS • There are eight numbered posts (controls) for the orienteering course at Brighton Woods. Each has a number that corresponds to the number on the Brighton Woods Orienteering Map, but they may be found in any order. • It is easier to go directly from control to control when there is less ground cover: late fall, winter, and early spring. Long pants are recommended because of the poison ivy and ticks. 1. NUMBERED CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS 1. Sports Field 2. Southwest End of Pipeline Clearing 3. Amphitheater 4. The Bridge 5.

(This is the first secret of orienteering.) • Rotate the housing of the compassso that the gridlines are parallel to the North - South gridlines on the orienteering map. The cardinal point N must be at the North side of your map. (This is the second secret to orienteering.) • Readyour bearing in degrees at the Bearing Index.

  • Skiing and Snowboarding Injuries
    SPORTS TIPS SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING INJURIES Tens of thousands of skiers and snowboarders enjoy snowsports every year, however few prepare for the rigorous physical demands that these sports place on the body. Although they can be safe sports, unexpected injuries may occur with improper preparation, varied snow conditions or poor judgment. Many injuries can be prevented by proper physical preparation, suitable and properly adjusted equipment, and common sense. WHAT CAUSES SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING INJURIES? Most snowsport injuries are traumatic, caused by being on dangerous terrain, lift accidents, falls, and collisions. In many instances, fatigue after a long day on the slopes or poor judgment can be blamed for injuries. The most common issues that predispose people to injury are: • Time skiing/snowboarding without rest • Skiing/snowboarding above ability level • Improper/faulty equipment • Inadequate adjustment to altitude • Dehydration/fatigue • Skiing/snowboarding off trail or in closed areas • Failure to observe posted warning signs by the mountain responsibility conduct code SKIING/SNOWBOARDING STOP SPORTS INJURIES — Keeping Kids in the Game for Life | www.STOPSportsInjuries.org What are some of the most common skiing/ Parental Oversight SNOWBOARDING INJURIES? Parents play an important role in educating their children about safe skiing and snowboarding practices. The wide range of skiing and snowboarding injuries They should help their children avoid terrain that involves many areas of the body, including: is beyond their ability and encourage professional • Anterior cruciate or collateral (ACL) ligament injuries instruction and routine rest breaks with rehydration.

  • Dynamics of Carving Runs in Alpine Skiing. II.Centrifugal Pendulum with a Retractable Leg
    Dynamics of carving runs in alpine skiing. II.Centrifugal pendulum with a retractable leg. Serguei S. Komissarov Department of Applied Mathematics The University of Leeds Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK Abstract In this paper we present an advanced model of centrifugal pendulum where its length is allowed to vary during swinging. This modification accounts for flexion and extension of skier’s legs when turning. We focus entirely on the case where the pendulum leg shortens near the vertical position, which corresponds to the most popular technique for the transition between carving turns in ski racing, and study the effect of this action on the kinematics and dynamics of these turns. In partic- ular, we find that leg flexion on approach to the summit point is a very efficient way of preserving the contact between skis and snow. The up and down motion of the skier centre of mass can also have significant effect of the peak ground reaction force experienced by skiers, partic- ularly at high inclination angles. Minimisation of this motion allows a noticeable reduction of this force and hence of the risk of injury. We make a detailed comparison between the model and the results of a field study of slalom turns and find a very good agreement. This suggests that the pendulum model is a useful mathematical tool for analysing the dynamics of skiing. Keywords: alpine skiing, modelling, balance/stability, performance Introduction The skiing of expert skiers is characterised by smooth and rhythmic moves which are very reminiscent of a pendulum or metronome. This analogy invites mathematical modelling of skiing based on the pendulum action, which can be traced back to the pioneering work by Morawski (1973).
