What happens without dry land ski training!!!!
My muscles were pretty well trained from mountain biking and climbing. My lungs accustomed to the high altitudes
The reality after one day skiing was:
Total neurological and physiological break down put me right in my place. Impact and eccentric loading were two major components, which I was NOT prepared at all
Eccentric loading is when a muscle simultaneously lengthens as it contracts. This is exactly what happens to the quads as you run down hill (decelerating), and the number one prescription for delayed on-set muscle soreness.
Ever notice that a day of skiing makes your legs really sore? This is impact and eccentric loading! A body needs some specific training to truly be ready to deal with absorbing impact (decelerating) on skis. The Alpine Ski Training Bench prepares you for the sport, but more important, it dramatically lessens your likely-hood of injury.
Once I have understood what it means to be really sore, I will sure prepare next ski season!!!
