Analysis reveals distance and skiing time metrics in elite sit-ski athletes, suggesting optimal balance of turning radius and speed.

To analyze trajectories of sit-ski alpine skiing during gate turns using an inverted pendulum model.
Data collected from 11 elite sit-ski athletes on designated slope segment.
Utilized inertial sensors and drone video for kinematic testing.
Analyzed 33 gate turns for skiing distance and time.
Mean skiing distance was 13.61 ± 2.87 m during gate turns.
Average skiing time was 0.88 ± 0.19 s per gate turn.
Found significant correlations between skiing time and minimum/lateral distances.

Xu et al. (2025) studied this question.
