Abstract: The International Ski Federation (FIS) Injury Surveillance System (ISS) has reported that during \nthe five-month winter season, one in every three World Cup (WC) alpine skiers sustains an injury. \nSimilar to recreational skiers, the most common problem in ski racers is knee injuries, and the \nmost frequent specific diagnosis is a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). \nOur knowledge of injury mechanisms in alpine skiing is limited, particularly among competitive \nskiers. Video of real injury situations contain important information of what took place when the \ninjury occurred. This information, in turn, can form the basis for injury prevention strategies. The \nmain aim of this thesis was therefore to describe the mechanisms of injuries in WC alpine skiing, \nbased on systematic analysis of video recordings.
