Kovalev believes that preparing skaters for the season is impossible without OFP

Winner of the Russian figure skating championship among juniors Artem Kovalev said that without general physical training, the skater would not have a result.

– Can a single skater prepare for the season without OFP? I do not think so. Everything should work together – physical training, fitness, choreography, dancing, ice training, stretching, running. Everything should be in a complex – if all this is not there, there will be no results. All these activities complement each other – something gives strength, something gives plasticity, something – endurance. On ice training we improve our skills, on stretching after training we relax our muscles, – Kovalev told the “Championship”.

Kovalev became fifth in the last Russian championship, and in the Russian Cup he took tenth place.
