On 20 July 2021 ski mountaineering (Skimo) was officially included into the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics by the International Olympic Committee.1 This development underlines the consistent professionalisation of a sport that had been included in the Olympic programme in 1924 as well as having been a demonstration sport in the Olympic games from 1928 to 1948. It was then excluded due to several fatalities. It has since developed from an unorganised leisure sport to a professional sport, represented by the International Ski Mountaineering Federation (ISMF).2 In 2020, Skimo was included in the Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne. In the following we present the sports medical considerations of this new Olympic discipline. Skimo as a competition sport consists mainly of three types of races: (1) individual races with a minimum of three uphill and downhill sections,3 4 (2) vertical races (one uphill section) and (3) sprint races with short uphills and downhills.5 Additionally, there are relay races performed as individual and sprint races. Skimo at the elite level demands good endurance as well as the ability to perform at high intensity.5 6 Competition race time is significantly correlated with peak rate of oxygen consumption (VO2peak), body mass index and the weight of the racing …

滑雪登山：这项新的奥林匹克运动的运动医学考虑

2021 年 7 月 20 日，滑雪登山 (Skimo) 被国际奥委会正式纳入 2026 年米兰-科尔蒂纳冬季奥运会。这一发展突显了 1924 年被列入奥运会项目的一项运动的持续专业化以及在 1928 年至 1948 年的奥运会上，它一直是一项示范运动。后来，由于几人死亡，它被排除在外。此后，它从一项无组织的休闲运动发展成为一项以国际滑雪登山联合会（ISMF）为代表的职业运动。2 2020 年，Skimo 被列入洛桑青奥会。在下文中，我们将介绍这一新的奥林匹克学科的运动医学考虑。滑雪作为一项竞技运动，主要包括三种类型的比赛：(1) 至少包含三个上坡和下坡路段的个人比赛 3 4 (2) 垂直比赛（一个上坡路段）和 (3) 短距离上坡和下坡的短跑比赛 5 此外，还有个人接力赛和短跑比赛。精英级别的滑雪需要良好的耐力以及高强度表现的能力。 5 6 比赛比赛时间与耗氧量峰值（VO2peak）、体重指数和比赛重量显着相关……
