The origins of skates are interesting. It is said that in the 1100s, hunters put bones under their long leather shoes in order to hunt in winter, the earliest form of skates, and in 1760, a London musical instrument maker invented a pair of skates with wheels, which were small.

In 1819, Pettibone invented a pair of skates with wooden blocks for the sole and wheels underneath, which were lined up in a line.

But because each wheel was a different size, the skates could only be skated forward. By 1863, the American James invented a pair of four-wheeled skates with wheels side by side, which could do all sorts of turning, forward and backward movements, and these are now the most widely circulated skates.

Skates are commonly referred to as roller skates or rollerblades, and the term for these skates varies from region to region.

Speed skates in roller skates are the best of all skates in terms of stability due to the long blade frame and large wheels and are more stable than other shoes in terms of the same braking action, but due to the lack of flexibility.

It is difficult to do high-grade fancy brakes, and in order to pursue lightness and maintain the right strength, the materials will definitely be more expensive, and the low sales of speed skates, which cannot be mass-produced, is also one of the reasons.

Skating is a whole-body sport, it can promote the improvement of the cardiovascular system and respiratory system function and the metabolic effect of strengthening can enhance the strength of various muscles such as arms, legs, waist, and abdomen and the flexibility of various joints of the body, especially for the mastery of human balance is a great help and coordination.

As an aerobic exercise, skating is exercised 3 times a week for about 30 minutes at a time.

Ice skating can make the body slimmer without you even realizing it. Because skating has lower body movement, it can lose excess fat from the thighs and calves, making for curvy legs.

In addition, skating enhances balance and makes the body agile, which in turn enhances athleticism.
