Almost 3.4 million people shred in the USA and with that many snowboarding, injuries occur. A recent study of professional freestyle
snowboarders found that the most frequent reasons for injuries were technical mistakes 81%, fatigue 14%, icy slope 13%, other peoples’ mistakes 4% and faulty equipment 1%. The research didn’t show the influence of atmospheric conditions (rainfalls, snowfalls, fog) on the occurrence of injuries. In order to lessen the number of technical errors, and what follows – the number of injuries – proper preparation for the snowboarding season is necessary. Exercising and jumping on a trampoline will help to pepare for jumps and stunts. Special training will enable to improve motor abilities, movement coordination and balance.
