How to prepare for the ski season

For those who love the mountain, the snow, and spending time outdoors, the arrival of the ski season is always a highly anticipated moment.  Skiing is a versatile and fascinating sport that offers a wide range of experiences: from ski mountaineering to cross-country skiing, to ski jumping and other disciplines.  This makes it suitable for adults and children alike, for those seeking adrenaline and those who prefer a slower pace.

To enjoy these days fully and safely, pre-season preparation plays a fundamental role. Skiing is a pleasant activity, within the reach of many, but nonetheless requires energy, endurance and a good physical shape.

For those who practice ski at a professional level, preparation becomes even more strategic. Technique alone is not enough: strength, movement control, healthy nutrition and ability to recover greatly impact performance, allowing athletes to face the slopes with flexibility, certainty and fun.

Here are a few good practices to preserve physical condition and exercise safely, reducing the risk of injury:

  • core activation
  • mobility of hips, knees and ankles
  • short balance and coordination exercises
  • conscious breathing to improve focus
  • muscle recovery

 

Zerobody lavoro

Over the last few years, a lot of professional athletes have chosen effective methods such as Zerobody Dry Float, a versatile and practical system that, thanks to dry floatation, allows the user to relax muscle tensions and recover strength without getting undressed or wet, even with little time available. Even 10 minutes on Zerobody Dry Float favour immediate psycho-physical recovery.

For those who love the benefits of cryotherapy, Zerobody Cryo is the ideal solution. Thanks to its patented system, equipped with a membrane that envelops the body preventing it from getting wet and operating at a temperature of 4-6 °C, it helps stimulate the circulatory system for instant recovery.

Another valuable ally when preparing for a day on the slopes is infra-red therapy: through deep heat, it favours vasodilation, enhancing blood flow and muscle oxygenation and improving endurance and physical readiness.  Infrared radiation helps to relax muscle and joint tension, reducing the risk of early fatigue and injuries. It prepares the body for smooth and coordinated movements on the slopes, improving energy and overall well-being.

Taking time for recovery isn’t a luxury, but a smart choice for those who wish to restore jjoint balance, energy and flexibility and get to the slopes feeling relaxed, reactive and safe.
