Alpine skiing competitions require high levels of isometric, eccentric and concentric muscle activation throughout a wide range of motion in the hip, knee and ankle joints. Track times exceeding approximately 40 seconds in slalom and 2.5 minutes in downhill competitions require athletes to have both high-level anaerobic endurance and advanced aerobic capacity and force production ability. However, the structure of alpine skiing, which requires high technical competence, makes neuromuscular coordination one of the determining elements of performance. In this branch, where high-speed turns and sudden changes of direction are dominant, motor skills such as balance, agility, reactive force production and proprioceptive control come to the fore. Therefore, athletes need to go through a multifaceted preparation process supported by special training aimed at not only the physical but also the neuromuscular system. In this study, performance tests specific to alpine skiing competitions are systematically addressed; the relationship between these tests and physiological parameters specific to the sport is explained on a scientific basis. In addition, the contributions of the tests in terms of individualization of training programs, athlete monitoring and performance prediction are also evaluated.
