Finns first to bone up on skating
The Australian – Dec 26, 2007
Archeological evidence indicates that skating began about 3000BC as skates made from bone dating to this time have been discovered in Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe. The reason why people started skating and where they did it has always been a mystery. New research led by Federico Formenti and Alberto Minetti of the university’s Institute of Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement offers an answer to both questions. "In Central and Northern Europe 5000 years ago people struggled to survive the severe winter conditions and it seems unlikely that ice skating developed as a hobby" Dr Formenti said. "As happened later for skis and bicycles I am convinced that we first made ice skates to limit the energy required for our daily journeys. " To test their theories the scientists made ice skates modelled on 23 ancient specimens in the British Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge then used volunteers to test them at an ice rink in the Alps. After a day getting used to the bone blades the volunteers had their heart rates oxygen intake and skating speeds measured so that their energy consumption and the efficiency of their skating could be calculated.
