Review of the best ice rinks in Samara 2022 - free and paid

Figure skating is one of the most beautiful but difficult sports. The main component of figure skating are jumps, spins, step sequences, pair lifts. During skiing, all the muscles of the body are involved in the process, as well as internal organs, such as the heart, lungs. There are many benefits to regular figure skating. Posture improves, the body becomes less susceptible to seasonal diseases, and the body becomes more mobile and flexible.

In addition, you can go ice skating with the whole family, having fun. Agree, this is much better than spending hours on the Internet and in front of the TV. In large cities, as a rule, there are indoor skating rinks that operate all year round, and there are open areas where the ice cover is formed with the arrival of cold weather. Below we will talk about the best paid and free skating rinks in Samara.

The benefits of ice skating

So, the advantages of figure skating:

• Self-discipline. Not everyone is able to withstand falls and bruises, perform the same elements several times;
• Recovery. Skating people get sick less;
• Strengthening the muscles of the back;
• Improved coordination of movements.

Minuses:

• High morbidity, and sometimes injuries are quite serious;
• Lack of free time. Those who practice this sport do not have time for other entertainment. Therefore, before you enroll in the figure skating section, you should consider whether you are ready to sacrifice your time;
• The high cost of clothes and shoes. Good professional skates are not cheap. There should be several sets of uniforms, because in addition to classes on ice, classes are held in the gym, where instead of skates you will need ballet shoes.

When to start exercising?

Experts say that the optimal age to start training is 3-4 years. Where to start? Gradually, in a calm mode, repeat the movements with the child, but do not overdo it.Classes should not be long in time, and you should not force the child to continue training if he is tired. This can permanently discourage him from engaging in the future.

Clothing for skating

The outfit must be warm, but thin and light. Skating on ice gives a significant physical load on the body, the body will warm up and it will not be cold, so it is important to avoid overheating. It is best to have thermal underwear. It retains heat well. Tracksuit, jacket, hat. Beginners need to acquire protection, in the first lessons everyone falls, and this cannot be avoided. At the time of the fall, the most vulnerable place is the joints, so the presence of knee pads is mandatory. A helmet is also required, it will protect against bruises and head injuries.

Falls

For beginners, the first stage is important - to learn the correct fall. It is better to exercise at home, on something soft. For confidence, you can wear protection to make everything look “real”. You should fall on your side. The shoulder will protect the skull from impact. Do not fall forward (there is a risk of injury to the wrists and a fracture) or backward (there is a risk of injury to the back and tailbone).

If you lose your balance, in no case should you swing your skates. The blades of the skates are very sharp and can injure bystanders. If the fall has occurred, and there is no one to help get up, you need to carefully move up to the side.

It must be remembered that experience does not come in one day and everything needs to be learned. The main thing is regular training and the desire to learn the basics of this beautiful sport.

In addition, skating improves your mood, because it's so nice to spend time with your loved ones, and even with health benefits!

Basic skating technique

Proper technique is a long and painstaking process.In no case should you rush and show excessive independence in the first lessons. You need to start at the side, with slow steps. Do not forget about the warm-up. Without a warm-up, cramps can occur due to the cold, so it is very important to warm up all muscle groups in order to avoid trouble.

After warming up, it is worth trying to go skating, as if in ordinary shoes. This will help you learn to keep your balance. Look only in front of you. Many are afraid to fall and look down, which is a gross mistake. It is important to look ahead so as not to crash into people. When there are already tangible results, you can complicate the task by turning your back forward.

After the beginner has learned to keep balance, you can proceed to the basic riding technique. They usually start with a “Christmas tree” - the leg in front must be placed diagonally, then push off with the back leg. Alternating the feet in this way, a kind of “eight” is obtained. This is the most reliable and stable technique, thanks to it you can learn to feel more confident on the ice. You can also slide backwards in this pose.

When the basic movements are learned “perfectly well”, you can begin to study the turns. It is very important to learn how to brake properly. For those who have mastered the "eight", this should not cause difficulties. To stop, you should spread your legs apart and then quickly bring them together, while the heels should rest on the ice. At first, it is better to practice braking at the side, so there is less risk of falling. When braking, the body should be tilted slightly forward, the legs bent at the knees.

Tips from pro skaters for beginners

• Shoes must be true to size;
• After each skating, the blades of the skates must be wiped dry;
• Boots should not be laced too tight, but they should not hang out either;
• The back is straight, the gaze is directed forward;
• Before going out on the ice, do a warm-up (stretching, squats) so as not to pull the muscles.

Figure skating is one of the most difficult sports that requires long, painstaking training. Of course, not everyone is destined to become a professional skater, but everyone can learn a simple skating technique. Practice, work on oneself, and, of course, desire are important.

It is very difficult to evaluate your own results from the outside. Beginners can use the services of a professional coach who will point out mistakes and teach the correct skating technique.
