Applied physiology of water-skiing.
Water-skiing is a physically demanding sport involving highly coordinated movements, extreme upper body torques, sustained isometric contractions and near maximal stresses on the anaerobic system. Due to the physical demands of the sport, elite skiers have developed physiological characteristics similar to other elite athletes. However, until recently little research has focused on the kinesiology, physiology and physical conditioning of water-skiing.
