スキーヤーの身体的特徴に基づいたスキーブーツ評価手法の実験的検討

抄録

Previous studies have shown that the pressure center of the foot bottom is minimized by adjusting the elevation angle of footbed in the ski boot to suitable angle for each alpine skier. And the fact makes the record time short.

This study investigates the relationships between footbed angle – the position of the foremost of patella -maximum inner lean angle in the turn motion measured by using ski simulator, and the distribution of the foot-bottom pressure.

Those results indicate that there are some patterns between the suitable footbed angle and the position of the foremost of patella in the athletes, and the pattern can be available as an index which evaluates the suitability of the footbed elevation angle.
