  • Title: Snow skiing.
    Author: Laskowski ER.
    Journal: Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am; 1999 Feb; 10(1):189-211. PubMed ID: 10081060.
    Abstract:
    There are many inherent difficulties in the collection of epidemiologic ski data, but important trends have been identified. Further investigation into controllable risk factors is currently in progress in an attempt to reduce injury incidence, along with prophylactic strength training and conditioning programs. A comprehensive ski-specific training program entailing training of the energy systems, isolated and kinetic chain strength training, skill-specific training, and psychological training is essential to ensure the optimal performance and safety of the skier. Rehabilitation issues also can be addressed in the context of the above elements.
