Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we conducted the motion measurement of snowboarder gliding on the actual snow field, and we analyzed the motion to develop the simulation model of snowboard turns for resolving the mechanism of snowboard turns. We conducted the motion measurement and kinetics analysis using the motion measurement system installing the inertial and magnetic field sensors and the measurement system of reaction force from snow surface installing the 6-axis force sensors, and we indicated the generating force of snowboarder for snowboard turns. Furthermore, we developed the new measurement system of reaction force from snow surface installing compact force sensors. We conducted the measurement experiment by the different skill snowboarders, and we obtained the important factors for development of the simulation model of snowboard turns.
