Figure Skating Training
Do you want to master tough step sequences and jump combinations to get credit for the higher difficulty levels, but don’t have the power and endurance to make it through the second half of your competitive routine? Do you need to develop a higher jump range to successfully complete the necessary number of rotations? Our Acceleration program is perfect for getting you to the next level.
With the Acceleration program, the average athlete will see a 2-4 inch increase in vertical jump, a decrease of 0.2 seconds in a 40-yard sprint, 33% improvement in foot speed, and a 50% reduction in recovery rates.
We also offer an in-season Maintenance program, for those athletes looking to keep the edge throughout their season.
Maintenance;
Sprinting is the foundation of playing sports: if you do not have proper sprinting mechanics, explosive speed, quickness and power, you’re missing out on the opportunity to outmaneuver your competition.
Athletic Republic's continuance program offers the in-season athlete the best opportunity to continue their individual skill development while continued reinforcement of muscle memory patterns. All sessions consist of our unique three period blend. Athletes will partake in 1st period Super Treadmill / Plyometric training, 2nd period functional strength / power circuit training and 3rd period Speed / Agility / Quickness training. Each session will focus on developing the athlete’s acceleration and speed during the season while maintaining proper sprinting bio-mechanics. Each session can be scheduled at anytime.
Below is a detailed overview of our Figure Skating-based program:
Objectives
- Enhance posture/body positioning
- Increase acceleration and speed around the ice
- Increase explosive power – in particular vertical jump height
