Sidecut radius and kinetic energy: equipment designed to reduce risk of severe traumatic knee injuries in alpine giant slalom ski racing

BACKGROUND: Kinetic energy (E(kin)) increases with speed by the power of 2 and is considered a major risk factor for injuries in alpine ski racing. There is no empirical knowledge about the effect of ski geometry on E(kin). Consequently, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of side...
