What are some of the benefits of roller skating and/or learning to compete?

The benefits of roller skating run the gamut from health benefits to building life skills and simply having fun.

Roller skating provides aerobic, strength, and endurance benefits. Research shows that roller skating can provide an aerobic workout similar to running that improves cardiovascular health. Recreational skating also causes less stress to one’s joints than an activity like running. And, skating’s low-impact quality also allows people with joint injuries or chronic joint problems to enjoy a fun and thorough workout.

Roller skating helps build strength, especially in the muscles of the lower body. The various leg-extension and rotation movements required for skating work the thigh, shin, hamstring, butt, and calf muscles. Stronger muscles and better coordination work together to prevent injuries and keep you active and limber as you age.

In addition to increasing muscle strength, roller skating can help increase muscle endurance, according to GetRolling.com. Adding a few uphill climbs to each skating session trains your muscles, along with your cardiovascular system, to use the body’s energy stores more efficiently. This means you can skate longer distances without becoming exhausted.

A low impact, aerobic activity that can be as effective in burning calories and working the heart as running, skating can be done indoors at a rink, with or without music, as well as outdoors in good weather.

In addition to the health benefits, training to become a good competitive skater builds strong minds and teaches skills useful throughout one’s life. Among these are self-confidence, goal setting, dedication, effective time management, mental endurance and focus, good memory/recall, cooperation, and teamwork.

And, finally, whether you enjoy the camaraderie of belonging to a skating club, or simply enjoy rolling in the beautiful outdoors, or shuffle skating with your friends on a Saturday night at the local rink or at the beach … whether it’s inline skates or quads … skating is simply fun for everyone.
