How does the PowerSkater compare to a lateral slide board?
It doesn’t. The lateral slide board has been used by many hockey players to strengthen their muscles, improve their stride and knee bend. The movement does not mimic skating, for it is from side to side as well as thrusting your weight from side to side. You can create bad habits on a lateral slide board which will actually slow you down on the ice. The PowerSkater replicated the skating movement and uses your energy and muscles correctly.
