“…To date, several studies have explored the physiological responses to in‐line skating (Baum et al, 1999; de Boer, Vos, Hutter, de Groot, & van Ingen Schenau, 1987; Fedel et al, 1995; Foster et al, 1999; Hoffman, Jones, Bota, Mandli, & Clifford, 1992; Martinez, Ibanez Santos, Grijalba, Santesteban, & Gorostiaga, 1993; Koepp & Janot, 2008; Melanson, Freedson, Webb, Jungbluth, & Kozlowski, 1996; Rundell, 1996; Snyder, O'Hagan, Clifford, Hoffman, & Foster, 1993; Wallick et al, 1995) and compared it with running (Koepp & Janot, 2008; Martinez et al, 1993; Melanson et al, 1996; Rundell, 1996; Snyder et al, 1993), cycling (Foster et al, 1999; Martinez et al, 1993; Snyder et al, 1993), roller skiing (Baum et al, 1999; Hoffman et al, 1992) and ice skating (Carroll, Bacharach, Kelly, Rudrud, & Karns, 1993; de Boer et al, 1987). These studies have generally shown that in‐line skating is an appropriate form of exercise for promoting cardiovascular fitness.…”
