Investigation of Preventive Measures for Injuries in Handcycle Training of Disabled Skiers

There are many athletes in Japan who have won prizes in the Paralympic Winter Games alpine skiing events. They also use handcycle as summer training. However, it was found that there were cases of injury during that handcycle training. This issue needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Some prior studies [1-3] have mentioned how to operate more efficiently, how power can be exerted, and so on. However, there are no studies that mention injury in the handcycle.
