A kinematic analysis of the V-style ski jump
(1994)The purpose of the study was to identify, describe, and quantify selected kinematic variables associated with the successful performance of the ski jump. Secondly, this study attempted to determine the statistical contribution ... -
Biomechanical characteristics of development age hockey players : determining the confounding effects of body size on the assessment of skating technique
(2002)Skating ability, and more specifically the ability to accelerate from a stationary position or change direction rapidly, is recognized as one of the most important skills in ice hockey. While coaches may use drills to ... -
Comparison of oxygen consumption and selected kinematics between and within the 1-skate, 2-skate and offset techniques
(2001)The 1-skate, 2-skate and offset techniques are the three most prevalent skate-skiing techniques used during cross-country ski racing. Although kinematic differences at maximum velocity have been observed between techniques ... -
Determination of a physical health index based on the national population health survey and an evaluation of the index on a workplace sample
(2002)There have been myriads of health factors identified in the literature that influence human health and well-being. Often times, health is broken up into several dimensions such as social, physical, spiritual, emotional, ... -
The experience of volunteer minor hockey coaches, program organizers and program facilitators in an on line coach education program known as play it cool
(2012-11-10)This study described the experiences of volunteer minor hockey coaches (VMHC), program organizers program facilitators (the participants) in a web-based, facilitated coach education program (CEP) called Play It Cool (PIC). ... -
Investigating the effects of visually augmented video feedback on performance of an ice hockey skating skill / by Duncan C. Pike.
(2008)The study tested the effects of video replays enhanced with graphic, kinematic feedback on a targeted aspect of the hockey skating stride. A single subject, multiple baseline, across participants design was used. Participants ... -
Meta-analysis of reported cross-country skiing injuries
(2002)The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive quantitative meta-analysis including a qualitative assessment of studies reporting cross-country skiing injuries. To date there have been three comprehensive review ... -
On-ice acceleration as a function of the Wingate anaerobic test and a biomechanical assessment of skating technique in elite ice hockey players
(2000)Success in ice hockey depends on an individual’s ability to accelerate from a standing start or change direction and continue skating quickly and efficiently. Previous research to determine those factors which had the ... -
Qualitative analysis of the final form exams of the skill awards program from Alpine Canada
(1990)In 1987, Alpine Canada introduced a skill development program for skiers aged 7 to 15 years of age who were enrolled in one of Canada's entry level racing programs. One of the objectives of the program is to raise the ... -
Ski jumping flight : a kinematic analysis of the mid-flight and preparation for landing phases
(1998)Competitive success in the sport of ski jumping is made possible through the optimal performance of junkers during flight. While the flight phase has been the subject of several scientific investigations, there remain ... -
Wizards of motion : an evaluation of an elementary school cardiovascular intervention / by Kimberly Boardman.
(2010)The Wizards of Motion Cardiovascular Module was designed to introduce the concepts of cardiovascular disease as a preventable lifestyle outcome. Scientific experts in cardiovascular physiology, health, and education visited ... -
Wizards of Motion : evaluation of a helmet intervention program / by Pamela K. Marsh.
(2007)Lakehead University's Wizards of Motion program is designed to introduce students to the application of mechanics to the analysis of human motion. The Wizards Grade 7 helmet intervention module provides a unique opportunity ...
