Analysis links speed profiles and technique choices to enhance performance in competitive skiing, suggesting advanced evaluation methods.
Within race-critical clusters, the faster skiers gained substantial time advantages. Secondary analyses showed clear differences in sub-technique selection and kinematic profiles, suggesting that technical execution plays a critical role in these performance gains. Athletes and coaches may consider integrating GNSS-based tracking, SPM, and wearable-derived technique analysis into race evaluation to move beyond traditional split times and focus training on the most decisive segments of the course.
