Tuesday 14 June was the last day of tests at the Mapei Sport Research Centre for the athletes in the National Italian Alpine Ski teams.

World Cup skiers from each of the men’s and women’s speciality teams (Special slalom, Giant slalom, Downhill and Super-G) and athletes from the national and youth teams underwent various functional assessment tests to verify their physical condition ahead of summer training.

The tests, carried out by our coaches, were based on anthropometric measurements , functional movement screening (FMS system) and incremental tests to exhaustion  to verify general resistance. Strength and power were assessed via a  vertical jump test on a dynamometric plate and a lower body strength resistance test using a motorised press (Mognoni press).

We wish all FISI athletes a good start to the season!
