A set of exercises aimed at developing the vestibular apparatus, sense of centering, sense of balance on the floor and in the air.
Dynamic:
A set of exercises that include active body movement such as running, jumping, arm and leg swings, squats, lunges, push-ups, etc. With dynamic loads, we: successfully build muscle mass; have a positive effect on joints and the overall development of the motor system; accelerate metabolic processes; improve the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.
Stretching:
Stretching - is a set of exercises aimed at intensive stretching of ligaments, as well as all muscle groups, increasing their elasticity, sensitivity and tone.
Core/Stability:
Core stability is a person's ability to stabilise control the position and movement of their core. Core group training is aimed at working out the core muscles of the abdomen, back, buttocks. This muscle, which holds the spine, allows you to have a beautiful and even posture. Having a strong, stable core helps us to prevent injuries and allows us to perform at our best. In order to protect the back, ideally we want to create 360 degrees of stiffness around the spine as we move, run, jump, throw, lift objects and transfer force throughout our body. We do this when all of the muscles in our hips, torso and shoulders work together.
Get six-pack abs, correct and beautiful posture, strengthen your back muscles, get rid of problems with your spine – all this can be achieved with the help of core training.
Plyometric:
Plyometrics - are a group of exercises that help improve strength, speed and endurance. Includes many different jumping exercises. Plyometric exercises effectively improve a range of physical performance indicators, including jump strength and height, running economy, agility, sprint speed and endurance.
Choreography:
In the modern sense, choreography is the art of conveying an image, plot or idea to music using body plasticity. It is in this understanding that it is applicable to figure skating. Choreography is a very important class for figure skaters; it develops plasticity, hones the positions of the body, arms and legs. During choreography classes, our skaters perform classical exercises at the barre, study dances of different nationalities around the world, as well as modern dances. This allows skaters to try their hand at all styles and directions. This gives a skater the opportunity to choose a suitable style for their competitions.
Jump off ice:
During this class, off-ice jumping techniques are honed. Using equipment and exercises that are designed specifically to help a skater to performed the jump and to strengthen the correct jumping technique and position.
Rotation:
Rotation is the position of a skater's body in the air while he spins in a jump. Usually this is a position of the body stretched out - arms pressed to the body, legs crossed. Twist-the speed at which a jump rotates in the air. It is believed that fast twist helps in multi-rotation jumps. During this class, the rotation position is practiced using all necessary equipment.
Adults off ice:
Three days off-ice for adults include three different workouts: choreography (classical barre, dancing, stretching), stamina jumps and spins off ice.
