Overview

The experienced skier does not take to the slopes without being fit. Fitness must be built up in preparation for the skiing season, and maintained during the winter so that particular goals may be achieved and the risk of injury is reduced. Conditioning training should therefore be just as much a part of everyday training for off-piste skiers, freeriders and carvers as the honing of technical skills. ""Skiing Fitness"" presents training programs for whole-body strengthening, mobility development, the reinforcement of the most used muscle groups and endurance training. It gives information on warming up and cooling down in training and on the slopes, and also gives recommendations for conditioning training on skis. It deals with the special characteristics of conditioning training for children and young people.
