The experienced skier does not take to the slopes without being fit. Fitness must be built up in preparation for the skiing season, and maintained during the winter so that particular goals may be achieved and the risk of injury is reduced. Conditioning training should therefore be just as much a part of everyday training for off-piste skiers, freeriders and carvers as the honing of technical skills. "Skiing Fitness" presents training programs for whole-body strengthening, mobility development, the reinforcement of the most used muscle groups and endurance training. It gives information on warming up and cooling down in training and on the slopes, and also gives recommendations for conditioning training on skis. It deals with the special characteristics of conditioning training for children and young people.

Don't Buy This Book,
This review is from: Skiing Fitness: Conditioning Training for Ski Sports (Paperback)
If you are not a patient reader, don't buy this book. It is a very frustrating read. I don't know for sure, but it appears this book was originally written in a foreign language and then translated into english. Also, if you are trying to find a good book about preparing for the ski season, this book wasn't helpful. The structure and flow was so hard to understand that I almost didn't want to continue skiing! Just joking! I still want to ski, so I just dropped this book and went to find another. Save yourself $$$. Don't buy this book.
