This study investigated foot pressure patterns between experienced skiers and intermediate skiers during alpine skiing. Five experienced skiers and five intermediate skiers participated in this study. Foot pressure measurement system was used to measure vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) and contact area under the six plantar regions. Each participant was asked to perform basic parallel turns and carved turns on a $18^{\circ}$ groomed slope. Each right turn was divided into the initiation phase, the steering phase 1 and 2. For the initiation phase of the basic parallel turns, significantly greater contact area was found on the LRF and RRF of the intermediate skiers (p<.05) and significantly greater vGRF was found on the LRF of the intermediate skiers (p<.05). Also significantly greater vGRF and contact area were found on the LRF and RRF of the intermediate skiers at the steering phase 1 (p<.05) and on the LRF of the intermediate skiers at the steering phase 2 (p<.05). For the carved turns, significantly greater vGRF and contact area were found on the LRF and RRF of the intermediate skiers at all three phase (p<.05). On the other hand, significantly greater vGRF was found on the RFF of the experienced skiers at the steering phase 1 (p<.05). Also significantly greater vGRF and contact area were found on the RMF of the experienced skiers at the steering phase 2 (p<.05). In order to increase performance, we suggest that the intermediate skiers should be unweighted at the initiation phase and shift the body weight to the forefoot of the outer foot at the steering phase 1. Also, the outer ski should be loaded more than the both skis at the steering phase 1 and 2.

Objective : Walking with a Material handling is an activity frequently undertaken by agricultural workers in Korea, due to the nature of their work. This study aimed to investigate differences in biomechanical variables according to the mechanical alignment of the lower limbs when walking with a heavy load, and to use this as basic data in the design of various working environments to reduce the skeletomuscular burden on the knee joint. Method : The study subjects comprised of 22 right-foot dominant adult men and women aged between 20 and 23 years. The subjects were divided into a varus or valgus group according to the mechanical alignment of the lower limb by using radiographic findings. The subjects walked without any load and with a load of 10%, 20%, or 30% of their body weight held in front of them. The Kwon3d XP program was used to calculate biomechanical variables. Results : The flexion/extension moment of the knee joint showed a decreasing trend with increased load, irrespective of the mechanical alignment of the lower limb, while the varus group did not show normal compensatory action when supported by one leg at the point of maximum vertical ground reaction force. In addition, in terms of the time taken, subjects showed no difficulties in one-foot support time up to 20%/BW, but at 30%/BW, despite individual differences, there was an increase in single limb. The increased load resulted in a decrease in the ratio of standing phase to ensure physical stability. The valgus group showed a trend of increasing the stability of their center of mass with increasing load, through higher braking power in the early standing phase. Conclusion : In conclusion, although there was no statistical difference in biomechanical variables according to the mechanical alignment of the lower limbs, the varus group showed a more irregular walking pattern with a Material handling than the valgus group, partially proving the association between lower limb alignment and walking with a Material handling.

스쿼트운동은 운동방법과 자세에 대한 이론적 근거 및 동작에 대한 기준 확립을 통해 안전하고 효과적으로 운동성과를 기대할 수 있는 중요한 프리웨이트운동 중의 하나이다. 그러나 바르지 못한 운동에 의한 부작용과 그에 대한 과학적 대응방안에 대한 연구와 운동모형의 개발 또한 필요하다. 스쿼트운동을 위한 풋플레이트를 설계하기 위한 구조해석의 주안점은 동적 거동을 단순화하여 구분 동작으로 모델링을 수행한다. 모델링을 기반으로 설계된 풋플레이트 바닥면에 위치한 로드셀의 한계 하중으로 인한 구조적 안전성 여부를 변형율과 응력의 크기를 산출함으로써 구조의 안정성과 이로 인한 운동기구의 설계방법을 제시한다. 이러한 스쿼트운동에 따른 세그먼트별 모델링과 지면반발력에 대응한 역학적 시뮬레이션 분석, 그리고 하중해석을 통한 운동역학분석의 결과를 통해 프리웨이트운동을 지원하는 운동보조장치, VR, 등의 기구에 적용하여 관련 시스템설계를 완성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 스쿼트운동 기구에 활용되는 풋플레이트의 설계 시에 인가되는 수직하중분포에 대한 설계방법을 제시하고 이러한 결과를 토대로 보다 안전하고 신뢰성 높은 운동보조기구시스템의 설계 및 제작기술을 제시하였다.
