Abstract des Autors
Involvement in sports offers benefits for individuals of all ages, such as combating obesity and enhancing cardiovascular fitness (Blair, 2009). In contrast, negative consequences of musculoskeletal injuries sustained during sports, such as skiing, may compromise function in later life, limiting the ability to experience pain-free mobility and engage in fitness-enhancing activity (Schiff, Caine, and O'Halloran, 2010). Consequently, it is vital to effectively prepare young people for skiing to enhance enjoyment and reduce the likeliness of injury. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the readiness of young people participating in school ski trips abroad. More specifically this study sought to examine the current practices surrounding the school ski trip and to evaluate whether schools across England are consistent in their approach.
