Tips On Skating Skills

Straight running posture is the upper body forward, bending the supporting legs, hands behind the back (long distance with the back arm, short and middle distance with the single arm or double arm), the upper body and the ice Angle is 10-15 degrees (short distance blade? 5 degrees, long distance is 10 degrees), the Angle between thigh and calf is 90-110 degrees (short distance is 90 degrees, long distance is 110 degrees), the Angle between calf and ice surface is 50-70 degrees (short distance is 50 degrees, long distance is 70 degrees). This particular position refers to the position before the start of the one-foot push. During the straight run, the shape of the position is similar, but the three angles are different. So the idea behind this crouch is to reduce head-on air resistance and increase the effective stretch of the legs when pushing off the ice.

Push the ice on one leg

The leg extension method is to first spread the hip, press the knee and ankle, spread the knee and ankle, the leg is not completely straight, complete the single leg support ice action.
