  Speed skating (in particular short-track style) is widely acknowledged to be an excellent adjunct for honing generic athletic skills through working on better understanding of more than one of the following: 

• body weight shifting and 
• leaning-in for optimal balance,

The cross-training leads an athlete to:

improved edging/turning, and extended physical endurance. While the direct correlation with the kinship sport of in-line roller blading is obvious, honing one's generic athletic accumen has wide applicability across a broad spectrum of sports, in particular complimenting the team & individual competitive sports:

• ice hockey, 
• ski racing, and 
• X-country mountain biking.
