Identifying gender-specific differentiation in each sport type is significant. In this way, sport- and gender-specific gains can be predicted. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of skiing on physical performance, pain, quality of life, and gender-based differentiation.
Crossover trial.
Sixty-eight volunteers, between 18 and 25 years of age, with no history of severe trauma in the spine and extremities, participated in our study. The skiers group consisted of licensed athletes (17 males and 17 females) who did active skiing for at least the past 2 years, the control group consisted of nonathletic and age-matched participants with no skiing experience (17 males and 17 females). Step test, vertical jump test, Flamingo balance test, hand-grip strength, and back-leg-chest strength measurements were performed to evaluate physical performance. Visual Analog Scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire, and Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire were used to evaluate pain experience. Quality of life was evaluated with Short Form-36 (SF-36).
Compared to the sedentary controls, VAS-activity and Oswestry Disability Index scores were lower; and aerobic performance, balance, hand-grip strength, back-leg-chest strength, and quality of life (SF-36-general health, SF-36-vitality, SF-36-mental health, and SF-total score) were higher in skiers. Skiing was found to be effective in eliminating gender-based differentiation of the variables of hand-grip strength, pain, and quality of life; however, back-leg-chest strength and anaerobic performance variables were found to be ineffective in eliminating gender differentiation.
Skiing allows that the individual increases physical performance and quality of life. It can also minimize gender-based differentiation of certain variables, such as muscular force, pain, and quality of life.
识别每种运动类型的性别差异具有重要意义。通过这种方式，可以预测运动和性别特有的收益。因此，本研究旨在检查滑雪对身体表现、疼痛、生活质量和基于性别的差异的影响。
交叉试验。
68 名志愿者，年龄在 18 至 25 岁之间，无脊柱和四肢严重创伤史，参加了我们的研究。滑雪运动员组由有执照的运动员组成（17 名男性和 17 名女性），他们至少有过去 2 年的积极滑雪经验，对照组由无运动经验且年龄匹配的参与者组成（17 名男性和 17 名女性）。进行台阶测试、垂直跳跃测试、火烈鸟平衡测试、握力和后腿-胸部力量测量，以评估身体表现。视觉模拟量表、麦吉尔疼痛问卷和 Oswestry 下腰痛残疾问卷用于评估疼痛体验。使用简短形式 36 项（SF-36）评估生活质量。
与久坐不动的对照组相比，VAS-活动和 Oswestry 残疾指数评分较低；而滑雪运动员的有氧表现、平衡、握力、后腿-胸部力量和生活质量（SF-36-一般健康、SF-36-活力、SF-36-心理健康和 SF-总分）较高。滑雪被发现对消除握力、疼痛和生活质量等变量的性别差异有效；然而，后腿-胸部力量和无氧表现变量在消除性别差异方面效果不佳。
滑雪可以让个体提高身体表现和生活质量。它还可以最小化某些变量的性别差异，如肌肉力量、疼痛和生活质量。
