Players will increase their speed If each stride includes optimum push and increased leg movement. In initial thrust, players must rotate their skates outward at a 80° angle to the chosen direction, driving out hard with rapid, running strides. After 5 or 6 quick, choppy strides, players should begin normal striding pattems. To develop maximum thrust, ensure that knees are bent at about 90° to 110° and body weight Is transferred over the pushing leg. Players must maximize the thrust length by fully extending the hip, knee and ankle while thrusting laterally and downward. Rate of recovery Is crucial 1 Increasing speed. Make sure players use fast leg movements with heels kept close to the ice for faster recovery, while the skate Is brought back under the body's centre of gravity.
