Snowboarding Injuries And General Conditioning snowboarding Injuries and General Conditioning. The ski industry was sprains, fractures and dislocations. Common snowboarding Injuries. http://www.nismat.org/traintip/snowboard/
Extractions: Links The ski industry was reluctant at first to embrace snowboarding as a sport because of concerns over safety and injury rates. Despite these concerns, snowboarding has dramatically increased in popularity over the past ten years in younger as well as older populations. Beginner snowboarders are predisposed to injury due to their lack of balance when first learning the sport. Snowboarding injuries may vary from the simple abrasions, cuts and contusions to the more complex sprains, fractures and dislocations. Wrist fractures and/or Sprains: Ankle sprains occur more frequently in snowboarders than in skiers mainly due to equipment differences. Ski boots are solid and prevent motion at the ankle, where snowboarders have a choice between a variety of types of boots. Soft-shell boots allow the most motion at the ankle and have been thought to contribute to an increase in ankle sprains. Hard shell boots are more similar to ski boots and have been thought to decrease the possibility of ankle sprains. Finally there are hybrid boots, which are basically a combination of the soft and hard shell boots.
