SKATING WITHOUT SKATES…

TEACHES TRAINER

 

To be able to keep his balance, to control the correct position of the ankle and knee joints needs runners, hockey players, figure skaters and anyone who wants to stand on the ice. Seems simple, until he started skating. As a newcomer to the rink will determine immediately, but he manages to slide on the ice on the edges of the Shoe — so unusual him to keep pace. Hence rapid fatigue, and even a hasty conclusion: “No, the skater I will be!”

 

Simulators for learning the technique of skating a lot, for often even the most successful design is very complicated. Head of Department of the Omsk Institute of physical culture, master of sports Vladimir Ilyin found an extremely simple solution.

 

On a wooden frame (approximate size 1000X400 mm, Xia choose a more accurate depending on the age and growth of the athlete) fixed plate or plywood PCB. It cut through two oblique (at an angle of 9-10°) the window at a distance slightly greater than shoulder width.

Cut the pieces slightly and grind into the old place on the axes. Limit the angle of rotation of the elastic elements (springs or pieces of rubber), which one end is attached to the plate, and the other to each of the mobile platforms. To the outer sides of the Windows are nailed restrictive stops (wooden bars).

 

In the manufacture of the simulator should take into account that the surface must be smooth and slippery — in fact, the time it will replace your ice. The upper surface of the plate it is best to Polish and clean the graphite. Classes should be in leather shoes (for better slipping).

 

 

 

When performing simulation exercises you slide one foot e.g. right, first on the stove, then on the right turntable to limit stop. That leg is not turned up, it is necessary to stretch and guide perpendicular to the axis of the platform. Then do the repulsion. While your right foot is on a moving platform and begins to turn along with it. Meanwhile, the body moves slightly to the left, the position of the feet varies, however, with respect to the platform it must remain perpendicular. This little “trick”, provided in the device, and eliminates the curvature of the line push in the ankle and knee joints creates a complete “feeling of the horse”. After the repulsion, as soon as the foot is pulled away from the surface, the mobile platform due to the linkage returns to its original position. Now put on the stove right leg and perform same movement with the left foot.

 

The device allows for self-learning. In fact, if you can not keep his balance at the beginning of the axis “blades”, all subsequent movements disappear automatically. Omsk sportsmen have made 30 of these machines.

 

THERE IS NO STRENGTH WITHOUT EQUIPMENT

 

Employee of the Arkhangelsk pedagogical Institute named after M. V. Lomonosov V. Druzhinin has designed a simple device with which you can quickly and easily measure the power of the ability of the skater.

A good skater must have perfect technique to be hardy and certainly strong. “Pump” the muscles using dumbbells, barbells, etc., in this case, the concept of “power” has a slightly different meaning.

 

The presence of technology without power is nothing, without power equipment, and hence the whole point of a good workout: strength development and registration efforts in working position. The problem seems to be impossible. Hung with different load devices and dynamometers runner does not go far. To reconcile the irreconcilable and managed V. Druzhinin.

 

 

 

…That the athlete put the hand on the lower back and rested his shoulder in a spring-loaded support, one leg he puts on the base plate, and the other turns back and relaxes, then the body position changes. Full impression that the athlete runs across the ice, although the classes are held on a special simulator. Dealing seeks to take exactly the same pose, as if he was running on the ice track. At the same time, the athlete should simulate a lean, but strong and vigorous push. Spring-loaded shoulder stops measuring “perseverance” of an athlete on a special scale, calibrated in advance.

 

To make this simple, but indispensable trainer is quite easy.

 

The unit frame is tilted forward by 15°. In the lower corners of the supports with a groove for the runner of the skate. Support replacement — to increase and decrease the distance between shoulder and foot, and to adjust the leg length difference. In the upper part of the lateral uprights fixed spring-loaded clamps that rests on the shoulder skater. On the top rung mounted staggers through which the strap is connected to the brackets by means of rods.

 

Cross-section bars of the frame is made of birch or pine 80X120 mm. Dimensions: bottom bar — 1450 mm top — 900 mm, side stand is 1,200 mm. the Angles of the frame and bolted using M8 steel plate. The length of the rod of the clamp should be equal to the sum of the length of the springs, thickness of the side stand plus 3 — 5 see the Pointer of the compression force of the springs it is necessary to calibrate taking into account friction of the rod in the hole (ratio of 0.2). In the process of operation of the simulator must from time to time to lubricate friction nodes, to tighten the threaded connection.
