Book Synopsis The Science of Alpine Ski Racing by : James Pritchard
Download or read book The Science of Alpine Ski Racing written by James Pritchard and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alpine skiing or downhill skiing is defined by six disciplines: Downhill, Super G, Giant Slalom, Slalom, Parallel, and Combined that test the athletes’ technical abilities and speed. It has long been a popular sport with many national and international championships and is a mainstay of the Winter Olympic Games. The Science of Alpine Ski Racing is the first book to discuss the science, coaching, research, and training of elite to recreational alpine ski racers for optimal performance. This book brings together the complex physiological, biomechanical, and technical components of the sport in a practical manner with which coaches and researchers alike can adopt to elicit better performance outcomes for athletes. Literature of this kind has never been formally researched and published specifically for the sport of alpine ski racing making it both unique and a cornerstone to the discipline. Backed by cutting-edge research, the book provides practical guidance on preparing athletes for high performance and understanding the core tenets of sports science underpinning it striking a balance between the complex theoretical and practical components coaches and athletes must prepare for in alpine ski racing. Accessibly written and featuring contributions from world-leading experts, The Science of Alpine Ski Racing covers key topics of health, training, and high performance in the sport and will be vital reading for youth coaches, professional ski instructors, strength and conditioning coaches, and sports science staff associated with winter sports programs as well as applied researchers looking for a model to apply to other sports. James (Jimmy) Pritchard is a human performance specialist/sports scientist who has trained and consulted athletes at the Olympic, NHL, NFL, and Division I collegiate level. Specific to alpine ski racing, he served as the Director of Strength and Conditioning for Ski and Snowboard Club Vail in Vail, Colorado where he helped prepare a long list of US Ski Team athletes including Alice McKennis, Mikaela Shiffrin, and Tess Johnson. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) as well as registered strength and conditioning coach (RSCC) through the NSCA working with athletes and human performance program managers on a regular basis to find optimal human performance solutions. James has presented at conferences around the United States discussing long term athlete development, written over 150 articles for several media outlets, has been published in the NSCA’s Strength and Conditioning Journal, and taught courses about strength and conditioning at Colorado Mountain College. James holds a BSc in Exercise Science from Colorado Mesa University and MSc degree in Exercise Science from Edith Cowan University. Jim Taylor, PhD, Psychology, is an internationally recognized authority on the psychology of sport and parenting. He has consulted with athletes, coaches, and parents in tennis, skiing, cycling, triathlon, track and field, swimming, football, golf, baseball, fencing, and many other sports for more than 30 years. Dr. Taylor is the author of 17 books and the editor of 4 textbooks on sport psychology. He is also a former world-ranked alpine ski racer, second-degree black belt in karate, marathon runner, and Ironman triathlete.

Download or read book Be Fit to Ski written by S. Kramer MS and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every winter, world-class racers schuss down race courses at speeds upwards of 80 mph, going all-out for 2 minutes of racing. Die-hard recreational skiers spend weekends exhausting themselves to catch that last chair-lift ride. Professional ski instructors devote their free time to honing skills in technique and tactics to meet specific national standards. Regardless of the number of days spend on snow, all participate in a sport that demands a balanced combination of peak conditioning in targeted fitness areas, called performance abilities- endurance, strength, power, speed and agility. As part of a thesis for the completion of a Masters degree in kinesiology, Be Fit to Ski incorporates over 30 years of research on alpine skiing and athletic training toward the development of a year-round fitness program. The idea of periodization, a block-training approach using microcycles and macrocycles, forms the basis of four training phases that begin in the spring and culminate with the end of the ski season. Divided into three sections, Basics of Training, Performance Abilities, and The Training Year, this book provides all the necessary answers to develop year- round fitness training for skiing that will result in quicker skill improvement and guaranteed more vertical per day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A physicist explains the science behind some of the greatest feats in sports history—from diving like Greg Louganis to bending it like Beckham. Nothing is quite as thrilling as watching superior athletes do the seemingly impossible. From Doug Flutie's "Hail Mary" pass to Lance Armstrong's record-breaking climb of Alp d'Huez to David Beckham's astounding ability to bend a soccer kick, we marvel and wonder, "How did they do that?" Well, physics professor John Eric Goff has the answers. In this scientific tour of the wide world of sports, John Eric Goff discusses the science behind American football, soccer, cycling, skating, diving, long jumping, and a host of other competitive sports. Using elite athletes as starting points, Goff explains the basic physical properties involved in amazing and everyday athletic endeavors. Accompanied by illustrations and mathematical equations, each chapter builds on knowledge imparted in earlier chapters to provide a firm understanding of the concepts involved. Fun, witty, and imbued throughout with admiration for the simple beauty of physics, Gold Medal Physics is sure to inspire readers to think differently about the next sporting event they watch.
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.
