This research aimed to investigate the possible correlation between the knowledge of inline skating with learning of alpine skiing. We included 134 participants, randomized to two equal-sized groups based on their previous knowledge on recreational level inline skating. They were enrolled in 10-days alpine ski school under similar conditions. The acquired knowledge of alpine skiing was graded based on performance of six previously chosen elements of alpine ski technique. The overall level of new alpine ski knowledge was tested by Factor analysis. The calculated Eigen value of first principal component (ƛ=5, 741) was significant and represented the acquired alpine ski knowledge which was further used in data analysis. The group of participants with the recreational level knowledge of inline skating was more efficient while learning alpine skiing compared to participants lacking knowledge of inline skating (4.1 vs. 3.4 ; p=0.00). Moreover, results have shown high and statistically significant correlation between the level of acquired alpine ski knowledge and estimated knowledge of inline skating (r=0.78). We conclude that inline skating can be used as an efficient tool for better learning alpine skiing. |
