ABSTRACT

Ski experts in technique of turning on skis are dealing with problems concerning load of skis during particular kinds of joined curves. There are many theoretical works, most of them based on kinematographic or dynamographic record or on a combination of both methods (Fukuoka, 1971; Nigg et al., 1977; Müller, 1986, 1991, 1994 and others). Observation of reaction forces between the ski and the plate has been performed in the past. Many studies have been performed to eliminate the number of injuries of knee-joints (Fetz, 1977; 1991; Nachbauer, 1986; Nachbauer & Kaps, 1995; Niessen & Müller, 1999; Senner et al., 2000).
