    Author(s): Diego Edo Martinez, Victor Murillo Lorente*, Roman Nuviala Nuviala and Eva Maria Gomez Trullen

    The interest of the study is the analysis of skiing and the improvement of its performance. The main objective is to determine the kinematic cause that determines the performance of skiers in the slalom test. Method: 14 skiers of the Cota 2000 club participated, separated into two groups, 7 advanced level and 7 expert level. The skiers made three descents in which two curves were analyzed, one towards each side, in the areas of high, medium and low slope. The angles of inclination, hip angulation, knee angulation and leg angulation were analyzed, as well as their performance taking into account the time taken and the resulting speed. Video cameras placed on each turn were used for registration. The study shows that the groups are homogeneous in terms of their physical characteristics, the BMI being the only variable to show differences. Results; The greater the degree of slope of the ..
