Comparing active, passive, and combined warm-ups among junior alpine skiers in -7°C
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Context: Warming up in very cold climates and maintaining an elevated body temperature prior to a race is challenging for snow-sport athletes. Purpose: To investigate the effects of active (ACT), passive (PAS), and a ... -
Radial and oblique impact testing of alpine helmets onto snow surfaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recent studies have found that alpine helmets reduce the risk of focal injuries associated with radial impacts, which is likely due to current alpine helmet standards requiring helmets to be drop-tested on flat anvils with ... -
A review of head injury and impact biomechanics in recreational skiing and snowboarding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Skiing and snowboarding are popular competitive and recreational sports with associated head injury risks from impact hazards. Understanding head injury hazards and risks in snow sports can inform injury ... -
