Skiing / Snowboarding

In skiing and snowboarding, injury prevention is essential for safety and performance. Strengthening the quadriceps and hamstrings helps prevent knee sprains. Proper falling techniques and the correct use of poles in the case of skiing help prevent fractures and injuries to the upper limbs. Maintaining correct posture during the descent and strengthening the core are measures to prevent back injuries. The use of helmets is crucial to protect the head from impacts.

Structuring training with rest periods prevents overtraining injuries. Flexibility exercises before descents help prevent joint injuries. Wearing suitable boots and doing strengthening exercises for the ankles are essential to prevent injuries in this area. Warming up, stretching and muscle strengthening help prevent muscle injuries. In short, prevention in skiing and snowboarding requires strengthening, refined techniques, suitable protective equipment and intelligent training management, providing a safe and rewarding experience.
