ABSTRACT

As the techniques of skiing are in principle ‘invisible’ [1] the only possibility is to deduce them logically. Even biomechanical research is not able to recognize techniques immediately. It is a basic feature of scientific research to logically analyze the problem at hand before beginning empirical research and to discuss logically the empirical results. Therefore, based on a new concept of ‘structure of motion’ [2], a logical procedure will be presented allowing a systematical inference of turn technique. Following this procedure, fundamental biomechanical and other already existing knowledge has to be considered [2], [3].
