“…Although the injury risk of less than 2 injuries per 1000 ski days [ 2 , 3 ] seems low, the total number of injuries per year remains high because of the huge population at risk. In recreational alpine skiing, severe injuries are often related to excessive speed [ 4 , 5 ]. Studies measuring speeds on ski slopes with a radar speed gun reported a mean skiing speed of 45–48 km/h (28–30 mph) depending on several factors [ 6 , 7 ].…”

BackgroundSkiers have to differ between slow to moderate and fast skiing speed to determine their skiing style according to the ISO 11088 standard for setting binding release values. Despite existing evidence that males ski significantly faster than females, no sex-specific factor was inserted into the ISO 11088 standard.ObjectiveTo evaluate factors potentially associated with the perception of individual skiing speed among recreational skiers.MethodsSkiing speeds of 416 adult skiers (62% males,) were measured with a radar speed gun. Skiers were interviewed about their age, sex, skill level, risk taking behaviour and helmet use. Finally, skiers had to rate their perceived speed on one out of three speed categories (fast, moderate, slow).ResultsThe measured mean speed of this cohort was 48.2±14.3 km/h (30.0±8.9 mph). A total of 32%, 52%, and 16% of skiers perceived their actual speed as fast, moderate and slow, respectively. Mean speed differed significantly between the 3 speed categories with a mean of about 53.5±13.7 km/h (33.2±8.5 mph) for fast, 47.6±14.0 km/h (29.6±8.7 mph) for moderate, and 39.4±12.2 km/h (24.5±7.6 mph) for slow skiing, respectively. Sex (η2 = .074), skill level (η2 = .035) and risk taking behavior (η2 = .033) showed significant differences of skiing speeds with regard to the 3 categories of speed perception (all p < .001) while age groups and ski helmet use did not. Males, more skilled skiers and risky skiers perceived their actual speed as fast, moderate and slow, when skiing up to 10 km/h (6 mph) faster compared to females, less skilled and cautious skiers.ConclusionThe perception of skiing speed as fast, moderate or slow depends on sex, skill level, and risk taking behaviour. These findings should be considered when discussing the introduction of a sex factor into the ISO 11088 standard for setting binding release values.

“…Accordingly, lower temperatures and bad weather conditions are associated with a higher injury risk on ski slopes. 3,31 Obtaining information about the weather and snow conditions prior to touring could therefore be a preventive measure. Inattentiveness was found to be another cause for injuries in this study.…”

Background: Ski touring is an outdoor sport with growing popularity in alpine countries. Information about injuries in ski touring is limited. Purpose: To determine injury rates, mechanisms, causes, and risk factors in ski touring. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Between November 2015 and May 2016, a total of 191 participants from the Alps region were prospectively tracked via personalized online questionnaires. Injury rates were calculated per 1000 hours of sports exposure. Risk factors were assessed per multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 3900 ski tours were performed, with 10,955 hours and 4,108,503 m in height ascension (uphill) recorded. The overall injury rate was 2.5 injuries per 1000 hours of ski touring. A total of 27 injury-events were reported, of which 18 (67%) were classified as mild, 7 (26%) as moderate, and 2 (7%) as severe. Hands (28%) and knees (16%) were the most commonly involved anatomic regions. Most injuries were limited to the soft tissue, such as bruises (31%) and abrasions (18%). Significantly more injuries happened during the descent (n = 17; 63%) than during the ascent (n = 6; 22%) (odds ratio, 5.96; P = .004), while poor weather conditions, icy surface, and inattentiveness were the most often reported reasons for injury. Sidecountry ski touring was identified as the only significant independent risk factor for injury ( P < .001). Conclusion: In this prospective injury surveillance study, the majority of ski touring injuries were mild and limited to the soft tissue. Ski touring injuries were more likely to happen during the descent of a tour, and sidecountry ski touring was the only significant independent risk factor for injury. Bad weather, icy surface, and inattentiveness were found to be the leading causes for an injury-event in this study.

“…sehr wenig Ermüdung an (p = 0,910). [22], dass die Verletzungswahrscheinlichkeit im Laufe einer Skiwoche in den ersten drei Tagen konstant ist und dann kontinuierlich absinkt. Daher scheint es präventiv sinnvoll, sich im Wintersporturlaub besonders an den ersten beiden Tagen schrittweise an die spezifischen Begebenheiten wie Höhenlage und Witterungsbedingungen sowie an die ungewohnte körperliche Betätigung beim Skifahren bzw.…”

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Im alpinen Freizeitskilauf betrifft rund ein Drittel aller Verletzungen das Kniegelenk und die h?ufigste Diagnose bei erwachsenen Skifahrern beider Geschlechter ist eine Verletzung des vorderen Kreuzbandes (VKB) mit 15?21?% aller Verletzungen. Generelle pr?ventive Empfehlungen zur Reduzierung des Risikos einer Skiverletzung beinhalten das Vermeiden von Erm?dung. Allerdings ist unklar, in welchem Ausma? die Erm?dung bei m?nnlichen und weiblichen Skifahrern mit einer VKB-Verletzung eine Rolle spielt. Methoden: In der vorliegende Studie wurden prospektiv VKB-verletzte Skifahrer w?hrend 5 Wintersaisonen von 2009/10?2013/14 in zwei ?sterreichischen Skikliniken befragt. Gesamt wurden 588 Personen (67,9?% weiblich) mit einem durchschnittlichen Alter von 42,1???10,9 Jahren hinsichtlich demografischer Daten, Skik?nnen, Risikoverhalten, aktueller Fitness, zum Tag und Uhrzeit des Unfalles sowie zur Skidauer und zur subjektiven Erm?dung in den Beinen zum Unfallzeitpunkt befragt. Ergebnisse: VKB-verletzte M?nner sch?tzten ihr Skik?nnen und ihren Fitnesszustand signifikant h?her ein als VKB-verletzte Frauen und der Anteil an einem eher riskanten Verhalten war bei M?nnern signifikant h?her als bei Frauen. Ungef?hr ein Drittel der M?nner und Frauen verletzten sich am ersten Tag des Skiurlaubes und rund 57?% w?hrend der ersten beiden Tage. Allerdings zogen sich Frauen signifikant h?ufiger eine VKB-Verletzung w?hrend der ersten Stunde auf der Skipiste (28 vs. 17?%) sowie w?hrend der ersten beiden Stunden Skifahren (52 vs. 44?%) zu als M?nner. Geschlechtsunabh?ngig versp?rten zum Zeitpunkt des Unfalls rund 81?% der M?nner und Frauen keine oder nur eine sehr geringe Erm?dung in den Beinen. Schlussfolgerung: Basierend auf den Ergebnissen dieser Studie zeigt sich, dass die Erm?dung weder bei m?nnlichen noch weiblichen Skifahrern ein wesentlicher Risikofaktor f?r eine VKB-Verletzung darzustellen scheint.

Abstract: There was no increase in injury risk at the pistes in recent years. The use of protectors has a positive effect and should be supported in the future too.
