What are the techniques for ice skating?

China's sports culture is profound and extensive, and various sports are popular among many young people. There are different ways of exercising in different seasons. In winter, in order to enrich everyone's life, ice skating is a good way. Ice skating requires many methods and techniques, so the editor below summarizes some for you, let us learn about the techniques of ice skating!

Speed ​​skating equipment includes ice skates, skates and skating costumes. The speed skating skates are composed of a blade, a blade tube, a front small blade rest, a front large blade rest, a front tray, a rear blade rest and a rear tray. The blades of modern high-end speed skates are mostly made of high-quality high-carbon steel, and the other parts are made of light alloys. The characteristics of speed skating knives are: the blade is higher than the figure skating knives and lower than the ice hockey knives, the blade is longer than these two knives, the blade is thinner (thickness is 1 to 1.3 mm) and lighter than these two knives, the blade is flat, the contact distance with the ice surface is long, and it can maintain good straightness of sliding. Speed ​​skating shoes are made of high-quality thick cowhide, with a semi-high waist and slender shape, and a hard heel to surround and fix the heel. The sole is made of hard leather and the skates are fixed to the sole with screws or rivets.

Generally speaking, the matching lengths of ice skates and ice skates for athletes are: 8 to 9 cm from the tip of the shoe to the tip of the blade, and 5 to 6 cm from the heel to the heel of the blade. Because the blades of the two skates are used to different degrees during skating, and the body leans to the left when skating on a curve, the positions where the skates and shoes are fixed are also different. Generally, the tip of the right ice skate is placed just below the big toe of the right foot, and the heel of the ice skate is located in the middle of the heel. The tip of the left ice skate is placed between the big toe and the second toe of the left foot, and the heel of the ice skate is located in the middle of the heel. Speed ​​skaters' clothing should be warm and lightweight. Speed ​​skaters' competition uniforms are all nylon tights and jumpsuits. A one-piece suit is a hat, top, pants and socks combined into one body. It is light, tight-fitting, has low resistance and allows for flexible movements.

l. Choose a safe venue. When skating on naturally frozen lakes, rivers, and ponds, choose ice that is solid and has no holes, cracks, or fissures. Try to skate as close to the shore as possible. In early winter and early spring, when the ice is not yet solid or has begun to melt, do not go ice skating to avoid accidents caused by broken ice.

2. Beginners in skating should not be impatient or reckless. They should learn step by step. They should pay special attention to keeping the center of gravity of the body balanced to avoid falling backwards and damaging the lumbar spine and the back of the head. When there are many people skating, you need to stay focused and avoid collisions.

3. In the freezing season, the weather is very cold. When skating, you must wear a hat and gloves and keep warm to prevent colds and frostbite on exposed parts of the body.

4. Do not skate for too long. Being in a cold environment will cause a large loss of body heat. When resting, you should wear cold-proof outerwear, untie the laces of your ice skates, move your feet around, and allow blood to circulate, which can prevent frostbite.

The above is a detailed answer to what are the techniques for skating. Among the many skating techniques, we must pay attention to our own safety and not skate in an inexperienced environment, as this will put our own safety at risk. At the same time, we must also take protective measures, such as wearing hats when skating. Avoid dangerous situations.
