摘要：Developed motor ability balance contributes to success of professional alpine skiers and moreover has an important role in injury prevention. The aim of this research was to investigate the correlation of different laboratory balance tests with success of alpine ski learning in ski beginners. Balance was tested in 119 alpine ski beginners with three laboratory balance tests, and the level of obtained ski knowledge was assessed on five chosen elements of ski technique: traversing, uphill turn, snow plough turn, basic turn and short turn. Significant correlation was obtained between results in lateral tilt test on plywood balance board and all five elements of alpine ski technique (r=0.22; r=0.25; r=0.20; r=0.19 and r=0.20). Moreover results were significant between four tests used to evaluate alpine ski knowledge (uphill turn, snow plough turn, basic turn and short turn) and balance test on both-side used balance board (r=0.19; r=0.24; r=0.28 and r=0.20), as well as between uphill turn, snow plough turn and basic turn and front-back tilt test on balance board (r=0.17; r=0.22 and r=0.17). To conclude, our results show that participants doing better on balance tests achieve better results in learning alpine ski technique and vice versa.
