For biomechanical research in several sports (e.g. skiing and snowboarding), field experiments are essential because these activities are performed over a great distance and in conditions that could not be reproduced in a controlled laboratory environment. High technical standards in kinematic set-up are necessary to achieve the required accuracy for biomechanical analysis. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the kinematic data collected in a ski and snowboard field experiment. Eight tests generally used in laboratory settings were adapted to field conditions on a skiing slope to determine the error related to motion capture. The calculated photogrammetric errors in the x-, y-, and z-direction were 11 mm, 9 mm, and 13 mm, respectively. The maximum error caused by soft tissue artifacts was 39 mm. These results indicate that accuracy of kinematic data in the described field experiment was comparable to that found in literature for laboratory experiments. It may be concluded that accurate kinematic data collection for skiing and snowboarding can be performed in a field setting and that these results are accurate enough to serve as input data for further analyses.

The attentional blink (AB) paradigm is frequently used to investigate temporal attention. Essentially, rapid serial visual streams of several distractors and two targets are presented. The accuracy in detecting the second target stimulus (T2) decreases in the time window between 100 and 500 ms following accurate detection of the first target stimulus (T1). In two experiments, Colzato et al. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 76, 1510–1515, (2014) reported evidence for a modulation of the AB effect depending on the presentation of different ambient odors: Peppermint increased the AB compared with lavender. In the current study, we tried to replicate their basic findings while using different methods and procedures to present the lavender versus peppermint odorants. In three experiments, we found no evidence that these odorants influence the AB effect. We discuss our findings in comparison with those from Colzato et al., in relation to other empirical research in this field as well as in regard to different hypotheses concerning how odorants may influence human cognition.
