Groundbreaking vLink Racing Computer Data to Shed New Light on Ski Race Training at 4th Annual ICSS Conference
Summary
Subsequent data from those activities, which leverage a customized, computer-based analysis program, is expected to add even more insight into racing tactics and techniques in the coming months.The ICSS program offers a broad and interdisciplinary spectrum of current research work in Alpine and Nordic skiing and snowboarding, presented by internationally-known scientists and other experts.The event marks the first formal presentation of vLink racing computer data, which provides unprecedented insight into new training techniques available to alpine ski racers based upon real-time, on-slope feedback.The presentation, titled “Athlete Response to Using a Real-time Optical Navigation Feedback System,” will highlight research conducted with twelve elite junior alpine ski racers to measure the application of the vLink’s real-time audio feedback on performance.In the study, 83% of subjects stated instant feedback on the slopes definitely helped them better understand their carving skills; 60% stated that the feedback helped them improve their carving skills on the first day.“We developed and perfected this technology in conjunction with the U.S. National Ski Team over the past three years,” said vLink inventor Kirby, “now we are demonstrating the real-world benefits of the vLink as a training tool.The event is organized by the Department of Sport Science and Kinesiology and the Christian Doppler Laboratory "Biomechanics in Skiing" of the University of Salzburg.To purchase the vLink racing computer or for more information: www.advancedracingcomputers.com.For more information on the 4th International Congress on Science and Skiing: www.icss2007.at.###Media Contact: Karamy MuessigXposure Unlimitedkaramy@xposureunlimited.com503-750-9041 Contact Information Advanced Racing Computers Karamy Muessig 503-750-9041 www.advancedracingcomputers.com Click here to view the list of recent Press Releases from Advanced Racing Computers Promote Your Business Press Release Pricing Email this page to a friend
