Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit von Wintersportlern in Abhängigkeit verschiedener Einflussfaktoren
Mean Speed of Winter Sport Participants depending on Various FactorsPublikationsverlauf

Zusammenfassung
Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Fahrgeschwindigkeiten auf Skipisten in Abhängigkeit von verschiedenen Einflussfaktoren wie Geschlecht, Alter, Größe, Gewicht, Nationalität, das Tragen eines Skihelms, Sportgerät, Skikönnen, Risikoverhalten und Wetterbedingungen zu erheben sowie Faktoren zu eruieren, die mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit zusammenhängen. Die mittels Radarpistole gemessene Fahrgeschwindigkeit von 2105 Wintersportlern lag bei 44 km/h. Das Ergebnis einer multivariaten Regressionsanalyse wies 5 unabhängige Einflussfaktoren auf, die mit einer höheren Fahrgeschwindigkeit in Zusammenhang stehen: jüngeres Alter, männliches Geschlecht, Skifahrer, besseres Skikönnen und risikofreudiges Fahrverhalten. Das Tragen eines Skihelms wird nicht mit einer höheren Fahrgeschwindigkeit assoziiert. Daher wird das Tragen eines Skihelms empfohlen, da dieser das Kopfverletzungsrisiko deutlich senken kann. Um Skiunfälle generell zu vermeiden, gilt es außerdem, die Geschwindigkeit an das Skikönnen, die Pisten und Wetterbedingungen anzupassen.
Abstract
Objective of this study was to evaluate speeds on ski slopes depending on various factors as gender, age, height, weight, and nationality, helmet use, used type of gear, skiing ability, risk taking behaviour and weather conditions. The average speed measured with a radar speed gun was 44 km/h for all observations. A multivariate logistic regression model revealed five independent factors for higher speeds on slopes: younger age, male gender, skier, higher skill level, and riskier behaviour. Helmet use is not associated with higher speeds on slopes. Therefore, ski helmets have been recommended because helmet use is associated with a considerable reduction of head injury risk. In general, to avoid speed related injuries, preventive recommendations include skiing under speed control consistent with the individual skiing ability, and slope and weather conditions.
