Coach Harps On Gains Of Skating

The Coach of Big Heart
Skating Club in Surulere, Lagos, Kings Kendron, has said that skating was a specialised sport that could be used to shed obesity in children.
Kendron told newsmen in Lagos that the younger generation could engage in the sport because it served as a means to burn excessive calories.
According to him, skating is an enjoyable sport which is gradually becoming popular among children in Nigeria.
“Young people have increasingly taken to skating as a means to keep in shape because of the simplicity and the grace associated with skating.
“Besides, the sport also doubles as a sure way of burning fats and keeping in shape for both the young and old,” he said.
The coach, however, noted that skating had to be done appropriately to minimise injuries that could be sustained.
Kendron advised parents to consult professional skaters and coaches before introducing their children to the sport.
The coach noted that if the sport was done appropriately, it would bring about the desired results of shedding off unwanted fats.
“Shedding weight programmes should be fun and exciting that the person involved in the programme will see it as a stress-free involvement.”
Kendron said that the fun associated with skating was so great that people who practised the sport would not even know that they were working out and shedding weight.
