Alpine Conditioning

Alpine skiing may be a sport for fearless speed freaks but physically downhill skiers are among the most powerful in the world of sport. When I spent time at Denver University in Colorado (USA) I studied their Alpine training and witnessed the training ingredients responsible for their success.

Seeing as it's cold outside and we're all lusting for a winter holiday, check out this example clip outlining some of the training carried out by Alpine skiers at DU and see why they are victors of the highest collegiate title, more times than any other college in any sport outright. It features AJ Avrin, Freshman and First Team All-American showing us how it's done.



For more information regarding training advice for Alpine skiing, check out the Ski Science section on the MatchFit website. Also make sure you check out the video post from Tuesday 21st December for more insight into the DU S&C Complex.
