Theoretical analysis and experimental evaluation of the effect of landing shapes on snowboard jump dynamics

Abstract

Aim of the work is the theoretical analysis of snowboard jump dynamics with respect to the effect of different shapes of the landing surface on the landing impulse received by the jumper. Both a point-mass and a two-point-mass models were adopted during the analysis and compared with the litterature results. Experimental sessions oriented to the mesurement of landing impact decelerations were performed as an attempt of validating the theoretical models.ope
