“…Similar results were reported for a randomized intervention where the intervention population had bindings tested and properly adjusted prior to the start of the season (60% possibly beneficial, 39% trivial) [20]. Later studies, 1996-97 season [64] and 2002-03 season [80], showed binding checks to be possibly harmful. No details about who performed the binding checks were given for the 1996-97 season [64].…”

Snow sports injuries risk factors and countermeasures 2 listed above qualify for authorship based on making one or more of the substantial contributions to the intellectual content of the manuscript.The opinions expressed are those solely of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Accident Compensation Corporation, New Zealand. Abstract Background:Snow sports (alpine skiing/snowboarding) would benefit from easily implemented and cost effective injury prevention countermeasures that are effective at reducing injury rate and severity. Objective:For snow sports, to identify risk factors and to quantify evidence for effectiveness of injury prevention countermeasures. Methods:Searches of electronic literature databases to February 2014 identified 98 journal articles focused on snow sports that met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Pooled odds ratios with 90% confidence interval and inferences (OR; 90%CI, % likelihood benefit/harm) were calculated using data from 55 studies using a spread sheet for combining independent groups with a weighting factor based on quality rating scores for effects. Results:More experienced skiers and snowboarders are more likely to sustain an injury as the result of jumps, while beginners sustain injuries primarily as a result of falls. Key risk factors that countermeasure interventions should focus on include beginner skiers (OR 2.72; 90%CI 2.15-3.44, 99% most likely harmful), beginner snowboarders (OR 2.66; 90%CI 2.08-3.40, 99% harmful), skiers/snowboarders who rent snow equipment (OR 2.58; 90%CI 1.98-3.37, 99% harmful) and poor visibility due to inclement weather (OR 2.69; 90%CI 1.43-5.07, 97% harmful). Effective countermeasures include helmets for skiers/snowboarders to prevent head injuries (OR 0.58; 90%CI 0.51-0.66, 99% most likely beneficial), and wrist guards for snowboarders to prevent wrist injuries (OR 0.33; 90%CI 0.23-0.47, 99% beneficial). Discussion:Snow sports injuries risk factors and countermeasures 3 The review identified key risk factors for snow sport injuries and evaluated the evidence for the effectiveness of existing injury prevention countermeasures in recreational (general public use of slopes, not racing) snow sports using a Haddon's matrix conceptual framework for injury causation (host/snow sport participant, agent/mechanism and environment/community). Conclusion:Best evidence for effectiveness of injury prevention countermeasures in recreational snow sports was for the use of helmets and wrist guards and to address low visibility issues via weather reports and signage.

“…The effects of developed ski equipment on reducing injuries in alpine skiers have been investigated widely (5). Investigators have found that injury rates have dropped, while the nature of the injuries has also been transformed over the time (3,4).…”

“…Attempts at reducing injuries consist of 2 major factors. One is the education and training of skiers and the second is the development of new ski equipment, such as boots and bindings, and introduction of advanced ski technologies (1,5).…”

“…Injury patterns have changed over time as ski, boot, binding, and slope-grooming technologies have evolved (1,2). Both the rate and severity of ankle and foot injuries have decreased over the time because of new ski boots and binding technologies (3)(4)(5). However, the knee is still the most frequently injured joint among all ski injuries (6).…”

This study aimed to compare content and apparent ileal digestibility of protein and amino acids in diets used over 1 year (4 feeding periods) on 2 farms of reproductive polar foxes (A and B). Two diets (1 from farm A, 1 from farm B) from the same feeding period were tested in succession (4 eight-day digestibility experiments) on 5 polar foxes with 'end-to-end' ileorectal anastomosis. The main protein sources were poultry, fish, and beef offal in diets A and beef offal in diets B. In diets A, considerably higher content of protein and total essential and nonessential amino acids was found. In each feeding period, diets B had higher (P < 0.05) digestibility of protein and amino acids including sulfur-containing amino acids. Methionine was the amino acid of the highest digestibility in diets A and arginine in diets B. In the diets from both farms, high digestibility was noted for histidine, lysine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid, and proline. The lowest digestibility was recorded for cystine. Too high a content of ash in diets A reduced (P < 0.05) digestibility of protein and amino acids. Diversified composition of feeds for polar foxes provides a definitely higher supply of digestible protein and amino acids.

“…Furthermore, the new ski-sports arising during the previous decade are documented to have a high risk of ACL injuries [58]. Additionally, the use of skiing equipment that is originally designed for adults and wrong adjustment of binding release mechanisms may put the young skiers at risk when a fall occur [3].…”
