Design, fabrication, and preliminary results of a novel below-knee prosthesis for snowboarding: A case report.

30 Aug 2009 Snowboarding with a below-knee prosthesis is compromised by the limited rotation capabilities of the existing below-knee prostheses, which are designed for use in normal walking. Based on snowboarding range of motion analyses, a novel below-knee ... Read more...

Comparison of physical characteristics and performance among elite snowboarders.

30 Jul 2009 There are little scientific data regarding snowboarding and the physiological demands on snowboarders. The aim of this study was to assemble and evaluate a battery of tests for the snowboard disciplines parallel, snowboard cross (SBX), big air, and ... Read more...

Blood parameters and biathlon performance.

30 May 2009 AIM: Biathlon is a sport that combines cross-country skiing with rifle shooting. There is no well-described model of performance in this multi-sport event. This study aimed to identify the parameters influencing biathlon performance. In addition, ... Read more...
