Why do you hold your hands on the ground when short track speed skating turns
Prevention of falling: When the body leans, holding the ice can support the body, so as to prevent the body from leaning outward due to the torque of centrifugal force.
Increase centripetal force: When turning, athletes lean their bodies to increase centripetal force and avoid being thrown off the track, so they usually hold the ice with their hands to support their bodies, otherwise they will fall down.
