Ski biomechanics

Ski biomechanics studies how the body moves and responds to forces while skiing. It examines posture, balance, and the mechanics of leg and body movements to optimize performance and reduce injury risk. By analyzing how skiers shift their weight, bend their knees, and align their bodies, researchers can improve techniques and equipment. This knowledge helps athletes make efficient turns, maintain control, and enhance overall skiing safety. Understanding these principles also aids trainers and coaches in developing better training programs for skiers of all levels.
