As a vital element of preparation for skaters of all levels, off-ice training is developing special physical and technical skills. Skaters need to work on all components regularly, and switch accents according to their individual characteristics and goals.

Applied Off-ice Technique (AOTech) is improving muscle memory in a special way to make it work easier, technically correct and, which is the most significant, safe on the ice.
