A Case Study in Spain creator: Mecías-Calvo, Marcos creator: Lago-Fuentes, Carlos creator: Muñoz-Pérez, Iker creator: Picabea-Arburu, Jon Mikel creator: Navarro-Patón, Rubén subject: Educación física y el deporte description: The objective of this research was to evaluate the protections taken by ski and snowboard recreational athletes of the winter stations Sierra Nevada and Alto Campoo (Spain), regarding gender, age, and practiced sport. A total of 520 users participated, Sierra Nevada (n = 306 (58.8%)); Alto Campoo (n = 214 (42.2%)), 257 of them were men (49.4%) and 263 (50.6%) were women, from 6 to 64 years old, classified by 4 stages of development (Childhood (n = 106 (20.4%)); Teenagers (n = 110 (21.2%)); Youth (n = 101 (19.4%)); Adults (n = 203 (39.0%))). For the data collection, an Ad Hoc questionnaire was used (Socio-demographic data, use/no use of protection). The data revealed that 23.5% of the participants did not use any protection. Regarding the development stage, 1% of the children did not use any protection, neither did 3.1% of the teenagers, 6.7% of the youth, or 12.7% of the adults (p < 0.001). Regarding gender, a total of 17.1% of men did not use protection, and regarding women, 6.3% of them did not use it (p < 0.001). In relation to the practiced sport, 15.8% of the skiers did not use it against 7.7% of the snowboarders (p = 0.006). The use of protection for the practice in winter sports is not enough to reduce the injury risk in these sports and, in the worst cases, fatal accidents. date: 2021-10 type: Artículo type: PeerReviewed format: text language: en rights: cc_by_4 identifier: http://repositorio.uneatlantico.es/id/eprint/520/1/jfmk-06-00084-v2.pdf identifier: Artículo Materias > Educación física y el deporte Universidad Europea del Atlántico > Investigación > Producción Científica Abierto Inglés The objective of this research was to evaluate the protections taken by ski and snowboard recreational athletes of the winter stations Sierra Nevada and Alto Campoo (Spain), regarding gender, age, and practiced sport.
