Skating Power Development
Skating power development uses hinges, single-leg strength, and selective plyometrics to improve stride push-off—not steady cardio alone.
Skating power development trains explosive hip extension, lateral push, and stiffness through heavy hinges, single-leg work, and low-volume plyometrics—not long slow cardio alone. Force must transfer in frontal and sagittal planes like stride push-off, not only vertical jumps.
Progress load on squats and hinges before adding high-rep jump fatigue.
Common questions
-
Do box jumps alone build skating power?
Jumps help reactive stiffness but need a strength base—hinges, split squats, and lateral work—first. High jump volume without strength often adds soreness without faster strides.
