Speed skating involves racing around an ice rink at maximum velocity using long, powerful gliding strides. It is one of the most calorie-intensive activities per minute, requiring explosive leg power, aerobic endurance, and exceptional balance. Speed skaters develop massive quadriceps and glutes from the deep, sustained squat position maintained throughout each stride. The sport improves cardiovascular fitness, lower body power, and lateral movement ability that benefits many other sports and activities.
