The jump is obliged by the name to the Norwegian figure skater Axel Paulsen. This beautiful element is the most widespread in programs of figure skaters. To learn to carry out it, not one day of persistent trainings is required.
It is required to you
- - skates for figure skating;
- - possibility of visit of the skating rink;
- - perhaps, coach.
Instruction
1. The figure skating is considered one of the most injury-causing sports. Therefore it is much safer to ask for the help the coach who will help you to seize knowledge of this business.
2. Now figure skaters use the unary, double and threefold axel in the programs. There is also so-called cross over jump in the half-turn who is carried out similar to the axel if to consider the way of take-off.
3. Of course, to learn to carry out the axel follows gradually, since the cross over jump. When training various receptions and techniques are used. Thorough working off of each element of the jump is carried out, records are looked through (special shooting in the time-lapse mode). At the initial stage of training it is controlled and automatically each movement of the figure skater is fixed.
4. Powerful running start with the speed about 5 m/s is necessary for performance of the jump. Then it is necessary to make transition for preparation for the push. Here it is important to fulfill the steady position of the body before the push, not to allow lowering of the head, stoop, assignment of the basin and fussiness.
5. Transition and sliding on the take-off foot shouldn't change the direction of the movement of the body. This rather powerful requirement since otherwise balance in the push will be broken and the jump simply won't turn out.
6. Successfully the right choice of the way of creation of initial spin will help to master the push in the axel that will allow to avoid possible mistakes.
7. Master several options of the stopper. At the tooth stopper the fad of the take-off foot, coming off the surface of ice, "is rolled" through teeth. The costal stopper assumes that the fad of the pivot foot, turning concerning the direction of sliding, "scratches out" ice the front surface of the outside edge. Experts agree in opinion that for successful performance of the axel it is important to be able to combine these two ways of the stopper. Optimum, when the costal stopper effectively passes into tooth.
8. Pay attention that it is necessary to own well in any way of the stopping movement. It is important for performance of necessary number of turns during flight. For example, the double axel demands the bigger number of initial spin. At its performance by figure skaters the costal or combined stopper is often used.
9. For mastering the technique of the jump coordinate at the time of the push the stopping movement, turn of shoulders and swings extremities. Perfect the technique of swings by means of special imitating exercises in the hall. They allow to improve curves of the movement of the centers of gravity. In process of development of exercises use burdenings up to 1 kg.
10. One more problem of imitating exercises - training in fast braking at swings. At the very beginning of development of the jump it is necessary to learn to control correctness of curves of movements. Only after that it is possible to start the braking speed training.
