In alpine ski-coaching there is a need to better understand a person-centred approach, including the intention behind coach behaviors. This paper takes a holistic approach and focuses on coaches’ inter- and intra- personal knowledge. Humility is proposed as a guiding principle, and a conceptual model (POWA) is presented. This study takes a critical realist perspective […]

This exploratory study examines the social and physical characteristics that predict participation in adaptive snowsports. Using the QPPF, quality of participation in parasport framework, autonomy, belongingness, mastery, challenge, engagement, and meaning are measured. Infographic – Labbe – Predicting high quality of participation in adaptive snow-sports for individuals with disabilities An exploratory study (1)

To improve our understanding of how to support participation in winter physical activity of people with disabilities, and especially in adaptive snowsports, this study aimed to explore the strategies used by several recreational adaptive snowsports organizations as perceived by their leadership. Access at elevation Strategies used to support participation for people with disabilities in adaptive […]

This paper sheds some light on what is known about snowsports education to guide future research toward a more thorough theoretical, practical and interdisciplinary understanding. Dimensions of Snowsports Education A Review of Literature Joshua Pighetti, Timothy J. Mateer, and Peter Allison (1)

This publication examines whether self-efficacy and and courage help students to better acquire new knowledge of alpine skiing. Sport courage, worry and fear in relation to success of alpine ski learning

This papers aims at determining the differences in the physiologic response of older skiers to three skiing modes. The study is quantifying correlations between rate of perceived exertion and the physiologic response and analyzing the relationship between aerobic capacity, skiing skills, and the blood lactate (LA) response during instructor-guided skiing. instructor vs self paced skiing-1

This paper tries to shed some light whether successful alpine ski learning depends on the technique used informal alpine ski instruction. The question whether the parallel-carving ski teaching approach achieves  better results than the approach based on combined snow-plough and parallel techniques is further addressed. Can we make the alpine ski learning more efficient by […]

This paper examines whether intermixing practice of two versions of a complex task would lead to better skill acquisition and retention than blocked practice of the same task. Applying contextual inference to snowboarding skills-2

This paper depicts the Effects of a Skiing Experience on Adolescents with Limb Deficiencies from an occupational adaptation perspective. Effects of a skiing experience on adolescents with limb deficiencies_-2

This paper investigates select physiological responses among older recreational skiers during ski instructor guided skiing on varying slopes while controlling speed. Physiologic responses of older skiers.
