This book covers the latest in snow sport epidemiology, snow sport injuries and treatment, and biomechanical/mechanical engineering related to snow sports injuries (mechanisms of injury, injury prevention by equipment design, injury prevention by design of resort features, and more). It brings together a collection of papers from the International Congress on Ski Trauma and Safety (the biennal meeting of the International Society for Skiing Safety) and presents the latest research on the effectiveness of winter sports equipment, the behavior of winter sports participants, and the epidemiology and biomechanics of winter sports injuries. This is an ideal book for researchers and professionals working in the field of sports medicine and safety. This book also: Covers the latest body of literature dealing with safety in winter sports as well as the prevention and treatment of injuries sustained by participants in these activities Broadens readers’ understanding of snow sport injury prevention research Illustrates ways safety standards for snow sports can be improved based on evidence-based researchSummary: Retention Requirements for Alpine Ski Bindings -- Helmet Use and Self-Reported Risk Taking in Skiing and Snowboarding -- Evaluating the Performance of Helmet Linings Incorporating Fluid Channels -- Polarizing Filters in Ski Sports -- Emergency Release for Winter Sports Equipment -- Analyzing the Riding Behavior of Recreational Skiers and Snowboarders -- Reaction Times of Skiers and Snowboarders -- Gender-Specific Effects of Smoking and Alcohol Consumption on the Risk of Falling in Downhill Skiers -- Hydration Packs Modify Professional Skiers Hydration Levels in All Day Skiing: A Randomized Controlled Trial -- Are ACL Injuries Related to Perceived Fatigue in Female Skiers? -- Aging Trends in Alpine Skiing -- Skiing and Boarding Injuries on Norwegian Slopes during Two Winter Seasons -- Skiing and Snowboarding Injuries in the Czech Republic in Winter Seasons 2003-2008 -- Relative Motion of ACL Insertion Points In Vivo: A Case Study, Including Skiing Maneuvers -- Jumper Kinematics on Terrain Park Jumps: Relationship between Takeoff Speed and Distance Traveled -- Reaction Forces and Moments in Carved TurnsPPN: PPN: 1658357442Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SOB | ZDB-2-SXB | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SEB
