Even if the practice of the sport or big wheel scooter seems easy at first sight, it is not so in reality. The Scooter is the fusion between running and cycling, requires more physical effort and dexterity.
When we are introduced to the scooter , whether for fitness, the pleasure of moving or even performance, we must respect our physical capacity.
Since this one is very aerobic, we suggest starting a few kilometers at a time with breaks. This can vary from 2.5km to 10km depending on cardiovascular level and muscular endurance . The choice of the surface is to be considered as well as the unevenness. The asphalt will be more rolling than the rock dust trails.
For people who are beginning to get in shape, we suggest starting with an hour of activity, working on striking technique, change of foot and cardiovascular adaptation .
While for active people, wishing to do long distance (20-50km), it is suggested to work rather in muscular endurance by carrying out outings varying from 1 to 3 hours at low speed ( 10-15 km/h). And to combine business with pleasure.
And for performance athletes, who are looking for nt at all costs the results, the techniques in vogue such as intervals or in KWatt (power) will be assets for physical development varying between 30-90 minutes at frequencies of 3 to 4 times a week.
Given the effort required to scooter, hydration is important as well as a calorific intake such as a small snack. Above all, they should not be neglected.
Don't forget, whatever the goal , we always start with a warm -up and we give ourselves some recovery time.
The goal is to have fun training!!
