SKI- TRAINING PROGRAMME
For serious skiers conditioning is an essential part of an overall ski training program. Not only will it allow athletes to perform at a superior level, it's an important preventative measure to protect joints and connective tissue from injury.
From a sporting perspective (as opposed to a leisure activity), skiing events can be broadly grouped into one of five categories:
Cross country skiing
Downhill or alpine skiing
Freestyle skiing
Nordic combined
Ski jumping
Traditionally, endurance athletes and their coaches opt for lower intensity and higher volume programs throughout the training period, with as little as 10% of training above the lactate threshold (2). However, it may be that a reduction in volume and an increase in high quality work can boost performance even in elite-level skiers (3). Even maximal strength training can improve work economy (4) and overall performance if converted to muscular endurance
Alpine Skiing
(5)The fitness profiles of alpine skiers differs significantly to their cross country counterparts. A great reliance is placed on anaerobic metabolism - power, power endurance and muscular strength (6). Even though moderate to high values for aerobic power are recorded in elite downhill skiers (7), this may be due to their training rather than a direct result of competing . Alpine skiers must be able to react quickly to changes in terrain and the course outline requiring agility, balance and co-ordination (
Downhill Skiing
Downhill skiing forces the athlete into a crouched position placing significant strain on the knees. Not surprisingly, elite skiers have strong legs when measured during isometric and isokinetic leg extensions (8). Leg strength is also a predictor in downhill and giant slalom events (7).
