Book Synopsis Alpine Skiing Injuries by : Herbert Schoenhuber
Download or read book Alpine Skiing Injuries written by Herbert Schoenhuber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides detailed information on the different forms of injury that are associated with training for and participation in Alpine skiing, covering risk factors and epidemiology, incidence, injury patterns, and, above all, preventive strategies and current management approaches. Conditions addressed in individual chapters include concussion, traumatic dislocations due to high-energy trauma or inappropriate movements, overuse injuries resulting from dry-land training or skiing on snow, the fractures typically associated with present-day Alpine skiing accidents, and musculoskeletal disorders. The importance of a sound understanding of biomechanics and physiological systems for the design of suitable training protocols and trauma prevention is clearly explained, and in-depth information and guidance are provided on training and testing for elite skiers and return to sporting activity following injury. Among the other topics addressed in individual chapters are the relationship of changes in skiing equipment over recent decades to particular types of injury and the potential consequences of exposure to hypobaric hypoxia and other stressors at high altitude. The book will be of great value to all medical professionals who work with or care for Alpine skiers, as well as for trainers and the skiers themselves.

Book excerpt: Why are some octogenarians competitive athletes while others struggle to walk up the stairs? It isn't luck. It's orthopaedic science. If you're tired of doctors telling you that an injury will prevent you from playing the sports you enjoy, you'll love Dr. Kevin R. Stone's Play Forever. All great athletes get injured. Only the best of them use those injuries to come back to their sport better-fitter, faster, and stronger than before. Through Dr. Stone's revolutionary approach to sports medicine, you'll discover how injuries can lead to a lifetime of high-performance fitness and athleticism. Learn how the musculoskeletal system can be repaired through cutting-edge therapies, then honed and strengthened through semiannual fitness tests, preseason education and training programs, and regular in-season tune-ups. Backed by scientific outcome studies on orthopaedic treatments and implants, Play Forever will become your go-to health and fitness source, helping you play the sport you love to age 100 and beyond.

Book Synopsis Alpine Skiing Injuries by : FL. Allman
Download or read book Alpine Skiing Injuries written by FL. Allman and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To ensure the maximum level of safety for alpine skiers, conditions and factors that predispose to injury need to be identified. This study surveyed potential risk factors for injury in a closed population of skiers using well-defined criteria for injury. Thirteen percent of those skiers answering the survey sustained an injury. The injury rate was 24 per 1000 skier days. Most injuries occurred on the first day of skiing. Icy conditions and fatigue appeared to predispose skiers to injury. The shoulder and knee were the most common anatomical sites of injury. Factors such as age, sex, level of ability, and conditioning, which have been implicated in previous studies as risk factors for injury in alpine skiing, did not appear to predispose the skier to injury in this controlled study.

Book Synopsis Significant Gender Differences in Alpine Skiing Injuries by : EP. France
Download or read book Significant Gender Differences in Alpine Skiing Injuries written by EP. France and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A retrospective analysis of ski injuries at a large Utah ski area was conducted to identify injury trends and to corroborate information from previous comparable studies. A total of 5360 injuries were treated at the ski area base clinic between 1989 and 1993. The overall injury rate was approximately 2.1 per 1000 skier visits. Knee injuries were the most prevelant injury type, accounting for 43% of all injuries. Significant differences with previously published literature were noted in mean and median age of injured skiers, indicating demographic differences among the injured population at ski areas. Distributional analyses of injury diagnosis broken down by sex revealed significant differences between ski area injury rates and types both overall and between men and women, and demonstrate the need for multiarea studies aimed at identifying trends associated with terrain, snow conditions, and skier demographics. A prospective study begun in 1991 will attempt to quantify the significant differences between male and female skiing injuries at this ski area and will expand to several areas in close proximity for further study.
