The five phases of a slalom cut can be identified: approach, apex,exit, wake crossing (WC) and next turn initiation (NTI).Not exclusively peak roll, acceleration and deceleration are the important parametersfrom the IMU but it is also important to consider the integral of each profile during eachturn. The integrals will give a more detailed “picture” of the cumulative result during aturn and are all summation of the parameter verses time. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show eachskier’s overall average integral of roll and peak roll for dominant and non-dominantturns. Statistical analysis suggests that at least one of the subjects had a significantlydifferent result than another subject (p
