Objective: To validate the reliability and validity of the Contextual Sensation-seeking Questionnaire for Skiing and Snowboarding (CSSQ-S) among Chinese adult skiers, and to explore the relationship between sensation seeking and risk-taking behavior.
Methods: Snowball sampling was employed to gather data from 515 individuals, aged between 18 and 40 years old, with at least one year of experience in skiing or snowboarding. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and other statistical methods were utilized for data analysis.
Results: The CSSQ-S demonstrated strong factor validity, internal consistency, and construct validity. Sensation seeking was significantly positively correlated with injury frequency, and risk perception mediated this relationship.
Conclusion: The CSSQ-S can be regarded as a reliable and valid tool for measuring sensation-seeking levels and potential injury risks among Chinese adult skiers, providing a useful reference for ski safety management and training.

Objectives: Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most common elective orthopaedic surgeries performed, with increasing demand among younger individuals. Few evidence-based guidelines exist on safe activity participation following THR, including whether high-intensity sport participation is safe for individuals. The purpose of this study was to identify if increased intensity of physical activity following THR was associated with increased activity-related pain and increased revision rates.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate how pole length, incline, and skiing intensity affect lower back muscle activation in elite cross-country skiers. This addressing a critical gap in understanding the biomechanical demands and risk of low back pain of double poling (DP).
Method: Eleven elite cross-country skiers performed skiing trials on a treadmill, varying in incline (flat vs.

Carbon monoxide (CO) rebreathing is frequently used to determine hemoglobin mass (Hb) during hypoxic or heat training and high-altitude research. Accurate and reliable carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) determination is crucial for reliable Hb measurements. The aim was therefore to explore the stability of HbCO and interchangeability of two Radiometer analyzers in the determination of Hb.
