Inline skates (often called Rollerblades after the popular trade name) are a type of roller skate used for inline skating. Unlike quad skates, which have two front and two rear wheels, inline skates have four or five wheels arranged in a single line. Some inline skates, especially those for recreation, have a "stop" or "brake" which is used to slow down while skating; most have a heel stop rather than the toe stop, particularly indispensable for inline figure skating.
The modern style of in-line skates was developed as a substitute for ice skates, for use by a Russian athlete training on solid ground forOlympic 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.
Inline skating may appear to be the most “professional” of all skating methods but facts show that it is one of the most easily accessible and widespread form of skating. This should come as no surprise given that inline skating is one of the top-ranking fitness workouts in terms of stamina, balance, sleep enhancement, muscle toning and of course, calorie burning.
