Today, thanks to the development of wearable sensors, it is possible to analyze the biomechanics of athletes without interfering with their movements. The aims of this study were twofold. Firstly, the quantification of the kinetic magnitude during landing is performed using wireless force insoles while 22 athletes jumped during summer training on the hill. In the second part, the insoles were combined with inertial motion units (IMUs) to determine the possible correlation between kinematics and kinetics during landing. The maximal normal ground reaction force (GRFmax) ranged between 1.1 and 5.3 body weight per foot independently when landing using the telemark or parallel leg technique. The GRFmax and impulse were correlated with flying time (p &lt; 0.001). The hip flexions\/extensions and the knee and hip rotations of the telemark front leg correlated with GRFmax (r = 0.689, p = 0.040; r = \u22120.670, p = 0.048; r = 0.820, p = 0.007; respectively). The force insoles and their combination with IMUs resulted in promising setups to analyze landing biomechanics and to provide in-field feedback to the athletes, being quick to place and light, without limiting movement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19092011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,29]],"date-time":"2019-04-29T07:01:22Z","timestamp":1556521282000},"page":"2011","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Ground Reaction Forces and Kinematics of Ski Jump Landing Using Wearable Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5978-9649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Veronica","family":"Bessone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomechanics in Sports, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, Technical University of Munich, 80992 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Petrat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomechanics in Sports, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, Technical University of Munich, 80992 Munich, Germany"},{"name":"Olympic Training Center of Bavaria, 80809 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ansgar","family":"Schwirtz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomechanics in Sports, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, Technical University of Munich, 80992 Munich, Germany"},{"name":"Olympic Training Center of Bavaria, 80809 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114","DOI":"10.1080\/14763140701687560","article-title":"Biomechanics research in ski jumping, 1991\u20132006","volume":"7","author":"Schwameder","year":"2008","journal-title":"Sports Biomech."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Bessone, V.
