Detailed description

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of skiing on physical performance, pain, quality of life, and gender-specific differences. In this context, aerobic/anaerobic performance, body balance, hand-grip strength, and back-leg-chest strength were evaluated in male and female ski athletes and age- and sex-matched sedentary controls. In addition, pain experiences, low back pain-related disability level, and quality of life of all participants were questioned using SF 36, McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OLBPDQ), and VAS scales. The data thus collected were used to determine whether skiing had any effect on physical performance and quality of life, as well as the possible impact of skiing on gender-specific differences.
