Sliding Sports training plans, built for your goal
Bobsleigh, skeleton and luge all live or die on the start — a sub-five-second sprint push that predicts race outcomes more than anything that happens once athletes are loaded — though the aerodynamic tuck and steering technique diverge sharply after that. SportBlox builds your sliding sports training plan around your goal, sled — bobsleigh, skeleton or luge — and current level.
Who it's for
Building an explosive sprint start
Track-sprinter style power and acceleration work for the push phase shared across bobsleigh, skeleton and luge.
Bobsleigh push and load strength
Team push power and loading technique for bobsleigh starts.
Skeleton or luge aerodynamic control
Core stability and steering strength for holding a tuck or sled line at speed.
A week of sliding sports training
Example: an athlete building explosive sprint-start power for push training. 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 acceleration over the first 15 metres, push power loading the sled, holding an aerodynamic tuck under speed 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.
Sliding Sports training plan FAQ
How many sessions per week does the plan include?
Typically 4-5 sessions a week, split between sprint work, heavy strength training and plyometric power.
Do I need track or ice access to follow this?
No — nearly all training happens on a track or in the gym; ice-specific sliding sessions are handled separately by your federation or club.
Is this suitable for someone new to sliding sports?
Yes — skill level scales the sprint and lifting loads, starting with foundational acceleration mechanics and general strength before adding sled-specific work.
How does it fit around federation or team training camps?
Tell SportBlox your camp and ice-time schedule and it builds strength and sprint work around them rather than adding fatigue before push sessions.
What does off-season dryland training look like?
Since ice time is limited to a short winter window, most of the year is spent on athletics-track sprinting, Olympic lifting and plyometrics that directly build push power.
Does the plan differ between bobsleigh, skeleton and luge?
Yes — all three share the same sprint-start foundation, but set your sled and the plan shifts emphasis: team push strength for bobsleigh, or core and steering stability for holding a skeleton or luge line at speed.
