Abstract

In this paper we deal with individual case studies comparing the analysis of specific skills - skiing with unilateral above-knee amputation (group LW2). Monitoring of kinesiology content of selected muscle movement took place through a comparative analysis with qualitative analysis of video clip and the quantitative comparison of the electric potential of the selected muscles.

The group consisted of three skiers, two men and one woman aged 22-30 years. In the time of the research skiers participated in competitions in downhill skiing disabled in the Czech Republic in the category LW2.

The results show a different activation of selected muscles in conjunction with one and two stabilizers. Greater muscle activity was found in conjunction with the use of one stabilizer.
