At first, we might consider running for exercise. However, we must consider how we apply the force to our joints and bones. Skating applies a lower force over a longer stroke and can efficiently burn more fat energy calories per stroke than a larger force for a shorter stroke.
The deciding choice is always a lower force applied over a longer stroke because it is more effective and lower in body strain.
Most of us are short on time to spend at any sport, so we need to consider the GREatest calorie energy output for the shortest time spent. The skating calorie energy applied is two to three times the rate of walking type energy consumption. You can expect the same benefit of calorie type consumption as walking in approximately one third of the time as walking.
Another benefit to skating is the air that one breathes. In the rink, the air may be thirty to forty deGREes and thus more dense than the room type air that you breathe. Dense air can burn more calories at an ever increasing rate as the air temperature is lowered. This accounts for the euphoric feeling after a pleasant one half to three quarters of an hour of skating.
A third skating benefit is the vascular action of gentle flushing and widening of the arteries in the legs and the tiny vessels in the toes. The heartbeat energy wave moves down to your toes and a portion of the energy wave returns. What is left to come back can add to your next heartbeat. This can save your next heartbeat work in proportion to the size of the return wave energy. It is clear that the GREater the energy, the less work your heart has to do in a twenty-four hour day. Believe me, it can give you back some youth that you once had!
One of the nicest advantages to skating is an improvement of balance. Your brain can process balance clues quite well, but if the output muscles are weak, the response energy is quite late.
Skating develops the calf, thigh, ankle and foot muscles that control balance. The more you skate, the better your balance becomes because these muscles become strengthened.
But what about the fun? Increasing your stability, fitness and confidence are all good things, but the GREatest thing about skating is the fun. Skating in the rink feels like floating and provides a real sense of freedom and relaxation that takes you away from the demands and stress of daily life. Give it a try and you’ll see...Come out and skate!
