“…Despite the large number of skiers, the currently calculated injury rate in Austria is less than one injury per 1000 skier days [3]. The knee joint represents the most commonly injured body part accounting for about one-third of all injuries in recreational skiers, however with a distinctive difference between sexes [3][4][5]. Female recreational skiers have twice the knee injury prevalence of male skiers and the ACL injury risk is three times greater in female skiers [4][5][6].…”

Background: Among recreational skiers, ACL injury risk is about three times greater in females compared to males and female skiers suffering from ACL injury reported about 20% points more frequently a failure of binding to release compared to male skiers with an ACL injury. Performing a daily self-release test of ski bindings, however, can prevent skiing-related injuries of the lower extremity.Aim: To evaluate to what extent uninjured male and female skiers are able to selfrelease their ski bindings which were recently adjusted to the ISO 11088 standard.Methods: A total of 15 male and 15 female healthy and physically active young adults with a mean age of 23.0 ± 1.7 years and without any previous injury of the lower extremities participated in this study. Subjects had to perform an isometric leg test and the self-release test of ski bindings with both legs on a Kistler force plate. For each attempt to release the binding, torques calculated via the force plate were normalized to torques calculated by a binding adjustment system (Relative Release Torques-RRT) and represented by percentage values.Results: Sexes significantly differ regarding body mass and BMI, but not regarding relative maximum isometric leg strength. Eleven out of the 15 male subjects (73%) and three out of the 15 female (20%) subjects released their ski bindings at least once with both legs. Regarding a total of 90 self-release trials among each sex (3 trials × 2 legs × 15 subjects), failure of binding release was significantly higher among female compared to male trials (84 vs. 54%, p < 0.01). The mean relative release torques (RRT) of the 76 female trials of failure of binding release were significantly lower compared to the 49 male trials of failure of binding release (40.9 ± 20.2 vs. 50.6 ± 20.1%, p = 0.009).Conclusion: Three times more females than males were unable to self-release their ski bindings although their bindings were correctly adjusted according to the ISO 11088 standard for binding setting values. In addition, females reached about 20% lower RRT values within failure of binding release trials although males and females did not differ with regard to relative isometric leg strength.

BackgroundTo effectively prevent injury in recreational alpine skiing, it is important to identify modifiable risk factors that can be targeted through exercise and training. Fatigue is a potential risk factor in recreational skiing, but no investigations have evaluated concentric/eccentric quadriceps and hamstring fatigue in recreational skiers. We tested the hypothesis that recreational skiing is associated with more pronounced eccentric as compared with concentric muscle fatigue.MethodsTwenty-four healthy and fit recreational skiers (14 male and 10 female) performed an isokinetic muscle test 1 day before, 1 h after, and 24 h after a 4 h skiing session. The testing protocol consisted of concentric and eccentric quadriceps and hamstring contractions for both legs.ResultsEccentric peak hamstring torque (both thighs) and eccentric peak quadriceps torque (left thigh) were reduced in male and female participants (p<0.05). Reduced peak torques were still present 24 h after the skiing session. There were no other significant findings.SummaryRecreational skiing is associated with prolonged (at least 24 h) eccentric quadriceps (left thigh) and hamstring (both thighs) fatigue in men and women. Eccentric quadriceps and hamstring fatigue may be a potential injury risk factor in male and female recreational skiers. This provides some justification for judicious use of additional eccentric training modalities for alpine skiing.

“…A pályán kívüli síelésről jelen közlemény azért nem tud részletesebb adatokkal szolgálni, mert az ilyen jellegű sporttevékenység a biztosító kötvénye értel-mében kizáró ok, ezért a sérültek kárigénye nem volt fedezhető. Egy ausztriai felmérésben, amely 7325 sérülést elemzett, a síelők, a hódeszkások és a pályán kívüli síelők aránya 80%/14%/6% volt, tehát egy nagyobb számú át-tekintésnél a hódeszkások aránya a téli sportot űzők kö-zött nagyobbnak mutatkozott [9].…”

“…Anyagunkban a térdsérülések 36,8%-ban fordultak elő, magyar adatok 57,3%, a nemzetközi felmérések pedig ezt az arányt 14,4-41%-ig terjedő tartományba helyezik, a gyermek sportolóknál ez az arány 47,7% volt [9,17,26,34]. Dániában, ahol a sportolók szintén külföldre járnak síelni, a térdsérülések aránya 40% volt.…”

Fővárosi Önkormányzat Péterfy Sándor Utcai Kórház és Rendelőintézet, BudapestBevezetés és célkitűzés: A magyarok téli sportolási szokásai nagymértékben különböznek a külföldiekétől. Közlemé-nyünkben megvizsgáltuk a magyar síelők és hódeszkások sérüléseinek jellemzőit. Módszer: 222, síeléssel és hódeszká-zással összefüggő egészségkárosodás került statisztikai elemzésre. Eredmények: A havas sporttal összefüggő egészség-károsodások közül 201 (90,5%) sísérülés, 19 (8,6%) snowboardos sérülés és 2 (0,9%) pályán kívüli síeléssel összefüggő sérülés történt. A sísérülések 55,8%-a az alsó végtagon történt, a térdsérülés 36,8% volt. A snowboardos sérüléseknél a csukló sérülése 31,6% volt. A 222 sérült közül 29 beteget (13%) kellett repatriálni. Következtetés: A felmérésben szereplő egészségkárosodások mindegyike télisport-sérülés volt. Megállapítható, hogy a téli sportot űző magyarok sérülési arányai és az egyes testrészek sérülései nagyjából korrelálnak a nemzetközi irodalomban közölt epidemiológiai adatokkal. A síelők és a hódeszkások csuklósérülései azonban a magyar sportolóknál az irodalmi adatokhoz képest jelentősen emelkedett számot mutattak, míg a fejsérülések aránya kisebb volt, mint a nemzetközi szakirodalomban említett érték. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(16), 618-624. Kulcsszavak: térdsérülés, síelés, snowboard, hazaszállítás, sportsérülés Epidemiological data of Hungarian skiers' and snowboarders' medical problemsIntroduction and aim: There are no high mountains or any advantageous circumstances for winter sports in Hungary, yet within the 10 million population there are about half a million people (the exact number is 550,000) who tend to go for skiing or snowboarding abroad. Authors compared the injury statistical data with results described in the international literature in order to develop conclusions about the differences in the injury patterns and frequency between the Hungarian ones' and those found in countries with plenty of winter sport possibilities. Method: Authors analysed the winter sport injury cases of an insurance company. All the injury happened abroad and the assistance provider of the insurance company has managed the patient treatment and repatriation. Three winter seasons (12 months) data was analysed from the point of view of injuries frequency at different body parts and areas. Due to the fact that only limited information was available a simple statistical method was applied. Results: Of 222 cases 90.5% were ski-related injury and 8.6% were snowboard injury. As for the skiers, the upper limb injuries accounted for 21.9%, the truncal region for 24.4% and the lower limb for 55.8%. Among snowboarders the upper limb injuries accounted for 36.9%, the truncal region for 37% and the lower limb for 26.1%. The most frequent was the knee (36.8%), the wrist (12.4) and the shoulder (11.4) injury. Skier's thumb injury was only 1.5%. The most common snowboard injury was the wrist trauma (31.6%), the head/neck/face was accounted 15.8% of all the injuries. And the ankle was injured in 10.5% of all the cases....
