Abstract
The physical capacities and skiing abilities of elderly recreational alpine skiers as a group vary widely. Consequently, one can expect the individual style of each to differ as they practice while enjoying their sport on the slopes (e.g., differing motivations, habits, durations and intensities). The aim of this study is to depict the practiced amount of physical strain, as well as the duration and intensity that occur during recreational skiing. To simulate the real situation on ski slopes, a group with a wide range of skiing abilities and physical capacities was analysed. In addition, we investigated the possibility of an existing correlation between physical strain during the skiing session and the fitness level of elderly persons. Einleitung gekürzt
