Inline Skates

Welcome to the Rawk.com Inline Skates Super Store



Inline skates (often called Rollerblades after world famous the brand) are a type of roller skate used for inline skating. Unlike quad skates, which have two front and two rear wheels, inline skates have two, three, four or five wheels arranged in a single line. Some inline skates, especially those used for recreation, have a rear brake which is used to slow down while skating. 



The modern style of inlineskates were developed as a substitute for ice skates, for use by a Russian athlete training on solid ground for Olympic long track speed skating events. Life magazine published a photo of American skater Eric Heiden, training for the 1980 Olympics, using such skates on a Wisconsin road. 



During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Rollerblade, Inc., a company founded by Scott and Brennan Olson in Minneapolis, Minnesota, widely promoted inline skating; they were so successful that their trademarked name Rollerblade became synonymous with inline skates. 



Inline skating is not only fun, it's good for you too. Inline skating is an excellent aerobic activity for people of all ages. Six important health benefits will result from a regular program of inline skating activities. Muscle endurance and strength will improve, flexibility will increase with a little help, body composition will change due to calories burned, cardio and respiratory endurance will increase, balance and coordination will improve and mental clarity and connectivity will get better. These improvements will carry over to other activities in your life, too.



Inline skating provides aerobic benefits that compare to running and biking and delivers a better cardiovascular workout than stair-stepping equipment. The anaerobic benefits are actually better than running or biking, because it provides a natural and smooth side-to-side movement that exercises adductor (inner thigh) and abductor (buttocks) muscles that may be ignored by other activities. Just 20 to 30 minutes of additional inline skating activity each day will help your body become physically stronger and lower the risk of heart disease. It also has low impact advantages and generates up to half the impact shock to joints, ligaments and tendons that running creates.
