Analysis of the current development of downhill skiing technique with a focus on vertical movement
Benda, Radek ; Macas, Tomáš (advisor) ; Havel, Jan (referee)
Title: Analysis of the current development of downhill skiing technique with a focus on vertical movement. Objective: Creation of an overview study of downhill skiing and turning techniques on alpine skis, based on content analysis focused on the vertical movement of the skier's center of gravity. Methods: This work is conceived as a development-oriented overview study. It utilizes research methods and is based on content analysis. Within this study, open databases and specialized web browsers were explored for relevant literature. The parameter of focus was set as the vertical movement. Results: From the studied literature and professional articles, we have found that the vertical movement of the body's center of gravity currently does not hold the same significance in skiing technique as it did in the past. Although vertical movement is present in modern technique, it is primarily utilized, for example, when traversing uneven terrain to maintain contact with the snow surface. Additionally, it is important to emphasize that the development of skiing technique goes hand in hand with advancements in ski equipment. Therefore, progress in equipment contributes to progress in technique. Conclusions: This bachelor's thesis presents a comprehensive text in the form of a developmental study that focuses...

Downhill skiing with exarticulation of the knee joint
Hruša, Filip ; Hruša, Jan (advisor) ; Strnad, Pavel (referee)
Thesis title: Downhill skiing with exarticulation of the knee joint. Main objectives: Evaluate prosthetic options for people with exarticulation in the knee joint for downhill skiing on two skis. Goals: 1) Suggest prosthetic solutions for downhill skiing with exarticulation of the knee joint. 2) On the force measuring plate L.A.S.A.R.-Posture, measure gravity center of skier on proposed prosthetic systems and evaluate substantial features for downhill skiing. Method: The work is empirical-theoretical nature. The methods are comparative analysis and observation with subsequent description. The monitored variables were skiers center of gravity position, and angles of the ankle and the knee joint at the neutral position and the base downhill ski position on the power measuring plate L.A.S.A.R.-Posture. Becouse of complexity and uniqueness of this issue, we chose a case study. Results: In our thesis we verify that there are available prothesis in the Czech Republic, which allows to people with exarticulation of the knee joint, safe skiing on two skis.
