Ski Exokelette: Exoskeletons for skiing

Ski exoskeletons or exoskeletons for skiing have several positive features that users can take advantage of. By linking the legs to the ski or snowboard, the user gains more control in movements, can stand and exercise longer, feels significant relief, and fatigue greatly decreases. With prolonged use, it can lead to a reduction in the risk of injury, cushions shocks and acts as a shock absorber for the knees. Professional skiers have been using exoskeletons in training for several years. These are now also being seen more and more often by amateur athletes on the slopes. We have tested it ourselves and would recommend at least supporting exoskeletons to any fan of the slopes. 

All advantages of exoskeletons in skiing summarized for you:

• More control in motion
• Practice longer
• Reduce the risk of injury
• Supports the weight of the athlete
• Cushions shocks
• Increases the control capacity of the boards
• Allows the entire force to be transferred directly to the device without losing load capacity due to its own weight
• As the practice time progresses, fatigue increases and control greatly decreases. For this reason, 80 % of falls occur at the end of the day
• Skiing longer and with less effort
• Noticeable relief 
• Shock absorber for the knees
• Lightweight construction
