Roller blading is considered to be a good choice for all skaters, especially during the off season.

But, the fact is that roller blading is a great tool only for speed skaters. It does not prove to be a useful training element for figure skaters.

In the present scenario, many skaters have started to incorporate roller skating into their training for speed skating. However, inline skating in the off-season is an excellent for short and long track ice racers.

It is very essential to make a combination of weight training, stretching, and cardio training, a part of the exercise regimens for speed skaters. This kind of training includes bicycling, plyometrics, and roller blading.

Off-ice skating tends to help the speed skaters to maintain their physical conditioning over the summer months. Incorporating inline skating in the training is quite beneficial for speed skaters.

As off-ice offers more resistance, inline speed skating helps to build cardio and respiratory endurance needed for long-distance racing. This is because inline skating requires more energy to sustain speed.

On the other hand, with roller blading, skaters can slow down and focus more on perfecting techniques.
Moreover, the speed skates are much lighter than the inline skates. Therefore, the skaters who roller blade and then race on the ice feel more powerful and light with their speed skates.

Bear in mind that training with weights around the ankles is not a good idea as it is known to cause knee problems.
This is because the extra weight from inline speed skates allows the ice racers to develop some amount of tolerance to the heavier off-ice skates.

Ultimately, it is this tolerance that translates into more speed on ice when the extra resistance and weight are removed!
