A compare on snow: Snowboard? Skiing?

The Impact of Climate & Weather upon Tourism with Particular emphasis on snow Skiing development in Iran

Human locomotion on snow: determinants of economy and speed of skiing across the ages.

We explore here the evolution of skiing locomotion in the last few thousand years by investigating how humans adapted to move effectively in lands where a cover of snow, for several months every year, prevented them from travelling as on dry ground. Following historical research, we identified the sets of skis corresponding to the 'milestones' of skiing evolution in terms of ingenuity and techn...

the relationship between core strength with static and dynamic balance in snowboard skiing male athletes

introduction: ski is a fast sport with a high risk of falling. the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of core strength with static and dynamic balance in snowboarders. materials and methods: forty male athletes participated in this study with a history activity of at least 6 seasons in snowboard skiing sport (mean age 26.85±3.30yr, height 180.45±6.08cm, weight 79.86±6.14kg...

Three-Dimensional Lower Extremity Joint Loading in a Carved Ski and Snowboard Turn: A Pilot Study

A large number of injuries to the lower extremity occur in skiing and snowboarding. Due to the difficulty of collecting 3D kinematic and kinetic data with high accuracy, a possible relationship between injury statistic and joint loading has not been studied. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to compare ankle and knee joint loading at the steering leg between carved ski and snowboa...
