Abstract
The author examined the relationship of anthropometric, flexibility, strength, and cardiorespiratory variables to performance in downhill and giants slalom skiing events. Although performance is influenced by many physiological, biomechanical, and environmental components, lower leg strength, anaerobic power, VO2 max, and grip strength were positively correlated with better downhill skiing performance. Grip strength and hip, elbow, and trunk flexion strength were correlated with successful giant slalom performance. Verf.-Referat
