In order to perform precise repulsive movements in a sliding step, the widespread and already long-used in the practice of skiing skating is considered a traditional exercise.
Used machinery has proven to be the preferred method of movement in modern times. On the run-in tracks, this action makes it possible to develop the most optimal speed in comparison with other techniques when skating on skis is performed.
For this reason, the following disciplines are distinguished when skiing: an independent type of skate step and, separately, a classic style. Allowed driving methods are set in advance in a competition.
The skating course, according to the rules, is divided into the following types: alternate skating, simultaneous skating in one step, half-concurrent running, simultaneous skating in two steps, skating without using hand pushing (with and without swinging).
When applying this method, the actions of the skier are similar to those performed by skaters, from where the name comes from.
An athlete, performing a skating course, the technique of which involves pushing back one ski with the help of the inner edge, performs this action in the back side, while moving the body mass to a second ski that slides forward. After that, the repetition of the already sliding ski movement is repeated.
No stops are provided. Hands are also actively involved in this method, depending on the coordination of their work with the rhythm of the legs, repulsion is carried out directly. The possibility of movement without the use of repulsion by hand. When moving in areas of flat terrain, repulsion is more often performed simultaneously with the legs, while lifting it is necessary to navigate the steepness - hands work the more often than it is more pronounced.
Half-stroke is more often used when cornering, pushing off with an external ski.
A special preparatory period and strengthening of the knee, ankle and joints are required in order to study the ridge course. It is necessary to study it on a flat, sufficiently run-in track, site, with as wide a width as possible. Snow should not be with the addition of ice, and so that the skier can repel the ski edge, his layer on top must be spread out.
First of all, you need to try to push off the inner edge of sports equipment along the laid arc in each direction. Exercise is performed from the very beginning without sticks. It is necessary to pay attention to the angle of deviation from the starting position when the ridge course is performed - over time it needs to be done more. Carefully monitor the position of the ski ribs, as the process of formation of technology, where every detail is important.
To perform the ridge course, it is necessary to have a device with a new three-dimensional profile, maximum deflection, the best pressure distribution, accessibility to control.
