Skeleton training plans, built for your goal
Skeleton's push-start sprint over the first 30-40 metres sets up the run, then everything is decided lying prone at up to 130km/h, steering with subtle shoulder and knee pressure while holding an aerodynamic position under heavy g-force through the curves. SportBlox builds your skeleton training plan around your goal, current level and whether start power, steering precision or neck and core strength needs the most work.
Who it's for
Push-start sprint power
Sprint and plyometric programming aimed at a faster, more explosive push-off.
Steering precision and track reading
Reaction and technique work for sliders refining their line through specific track curves.
Building g-force tolerance
Neck and core strength work for newer sliders adjusting to prone high-speed curves.
A week of skeleton training
Example: a slider building push-start power ahead of a race weekend. Your own plan is built around your event, level and schedule.
How SportBlox personalises it
Your goal & event date
Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.
Your skill level
Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.
Your stated weaknesses
Tell SportBlox about things like explosive start-block acceleration, steering precision through specific curves, neck and core strength under sustained g-force and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.
Your schedule
The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.
Skeleton training plan FAQ
Do I need track access to follow this plan?
No — most sessions are sprint, gym and push-simulation work; on-track sessions slot in when you flag access.
Is this suitable for someone new to skeleton?
Yes — many sliders come from athletics or gymnastics backgrounds; tell it your sprint and strength background and the plan adapts.
How does it build g-force tolerance?
Dedicated neck and core strength sessions target the muscles that hold your head and body stable through high-speed curves.
Can it build toward a specific competition?
Yes, add the event and start-power and track-specific work peak leading into it.
Will it fit around limited track availability?
Yes — flag your access and sprint, gym and push-simulation work fills the gaps.
