Edea Spinners

The Edea spinner can be used on any compact, flat and dry surface: usually smooth concrete or tiled tracks are preferred. Use on parquet should be avoided, as it is possible to damage the surface. It is a sturdy and durable product, which does not require special attention, apart from a possible cleaning of the convex surface, which must be carried out, if necessary, using only water and a little detergent.
We do not recommend using use of the tool on surfaces that are too rough (e.g. asphalt), to avoid damaging it.
Regarding the precautions for use:

• The spinner should be used with caution, to perform exercises within the athlete's reach, as the risk of falls is always present.
• In case of inexperienced athletes, it is advisable to use protective equipment.
• Do not use the spinner on wet or slippery surfaces, risk of falling!
• Check that there is sufficient space available and that in the area surrounding the one in which the exercises will be performed, there are no objects that can fall or that the athlete can hit during the exercises or due to a fall.
• For hygienic reasons, it is best to put the spinner in a plastic bag before putting it in your bag.

The spinner can be used to gain awareness of the ankle joints while improving the sensitivity, strength and agility of the foot joints. In particular, even the youngest athletes can practice balancing with one foot on the spinner during the static execution of figures such as the cart, the angel, the crane and the amphora. The main advantages of this type of exercises are four:

• the possibility of getting hurt by falling is drastically reduced (the tool is only a couple of cm high and, of course, the athlete is stationary).
• It is possible to use sneakers, freeing the ankle joint.
• It is a fun tool, which often stimulates younger athletes to self-challenge, play and compete.
• It takes up little space and can be taken anywhere, to practice even extemporaneously (possibly even at home, if there is enough space and if the available surface is suitable).

Given that the Edea spinner is a low cost tool , required by most coaches and, in any case, always useful for learning skating techniques, it can be an excellent gift idea for a young skater!

The Edea spinner is also a very useful tool for learning more complex figures, in particular spins and jumps (in this last case it is necessary to use the E-Spinner version), in the "dry" version, ie without wear skates. In this case, the reduction of risk and the simplification of the exercise allow athletes to focus on maintaining the correct body position and balance. The tool is also often used in the warm-up phase that precedes training and competitions.
