DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2361254
Abstract: Abstract Introduction Injury rates in competitive alpine skiing are high. With current methods, identifying people at risk is expensive and thus often not feasible at the youth level. The aims of this study were (1)… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.858610
Abstract: Competitive alpine skiers are exposed to enormous forces acting on their bodies–particularly on the knee joint and hence the patellar tendon - during both the off-season preparation and in-season competition phases. However, factors influencing patellar… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2019.00088
Abstract: Competitive alpine skiers are subject to substantial risks of injury, especially concerning the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). During “landing back weighted” episodes, hamstrings may partially counteract the anterior shear force acting on the tibia by… read more here.
