The results of the use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems were presented in an invited lecture at foreign international conference, which was attended by almost 4000 professionals in the field of metrology. A variety of potential uses were presented such as: synchronization with the inertial motion capture suit and time measurements. All approaches are also used in the current project.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4268209Alpine skiing represents a type of recreation, which is still very popular and it attracts a large number of people. Vibrations are constantly present while skiing and may have a negative influence on humans. Because this area in alpine skiing is to our knowledge purely investigated, the aim of the study was to determine whether there is a relationship between the vibrations and the form of recreational skiing and/or if the vibrations are transmitted to the body. Therefore, we have performed measurements with an inertial MVN suit on one subject with above-average recreational skier abilities in three typical and different forms of skiing. The inertial suit apart from body movements measures accelerations in all body segments. As a consequence we were able to calculate the power spectra of acceleration on the ski boots, on the knee joints, on the pelvis and on the head. The results revealed that the vibration in various forms of recreational skiing vary and are transmitted from the ski boot all the way up to the skierʼs head. The most pronounced vibrations were observed in shorter skidded turns where the intensity of the power spectrum was the highest; slightly fewer vibrations were observed in shorter carved turns and at least in longer carved turns.
