The Newron Skate allows the hockey player to execute a hockey stride on hard surface exactly the same as on ice. With the wheels mounted in pairs on a light weight chassis where support springs allow for a toe kick and replicated cross-over strides, the Newron Skate is a revolutionary product.
For years, the pros and cons of rollerblading have been intensely discussed among hockey professionals. The “roller-stride” is a common term used to describe the detrimental effects to an inline player switching over to hockey. A “roller-stride” can’t execute the toe kick with efficiency and the result is to avoid a significant part of the stride extension. Inline players have slower acceleration, less extension and shorter recovery on their strides. The one positive element of inline hockey is that skating flow is increased (not losing speed when changing direction). Since a player can’t break similarly to a stop on the ice, changing direction needs to utilize a perfect turn or forward to backward sidestep. The Newron Skate increases the execution of these movements while eliminating all negative effects of inline skating to a hockey player.
Now, players can substitute the expensive ice time for free concrete or asphalt surfaces around the world, and workouts are not limited by time constraints but rather the endurance of each player. Furthermore, parents don’t even have to take the child to a rink to get those extra hours of ice. Your driveway, street, basketball court or tennis court becomes a rink! The Newron system is not to be confused with a standard inline skate; it is an “OFF-ICE” hockey skate, a perfect transition from ice to hard surfaces such as concrete.
SPEED: 10% increase in speed. Friction is greatly absorbed by the blade system.
AGILITY: Ability to skate more freely, just like an ice skate. You can now skate on roads, concrete, or any other hard surface, just like you would on ice.
SECURITY: Reduces stress on muscles and joints, produced by ground impact. Surface imperfections are now absorbed by the Newron system. This scientifically reduce injuries.
Studies from the Université of Québec in Montréal have shown that using the Newron training system replicates the exact stride and motion as ice skating, therefore working the same muscles and providing an ideal off ice training system for those players looking to improve their skating.
Work studies from Dr. Alain-Steve Comtois, a Biomechanics professor at the University of Quebec, clearly demonstrate that the Newron platform is the best off-ice training system for players looking to improve their skating as the biomechanics involved in the skating stride are identical to those by a player skating on ice.
