First of all, the question is unscientific: "Why do most moves in figure skating slide backwards?" Figure skating can be broadly categorized into steps, spins, and jumps, and steps can also be categorized into glides (e.g., huckleberries, forward progressions, backward progressions) and spins (e.g., various triple spins, brackets). Only skating movements can be categorized as forward and backward. All other types of movements are rotations. There is no difference between front and back. Landlords say that backward skating is more common than forward skating, mainly in solo skating competitions.
There are two reasons for this. One is that single skaters often use backward pressure to accelerate in competitions. Why do you use a back step instead of a forward step? On the one hand, backward is better than forward. On the other hand, acceleration is a preparation for jumps and subsequent steps. Five out of six jumps are backwards. Accelerating into the step by counter-pressurizing it avoids the loss of RPM. Entering the subsequent step by counterpressing also makes the movement more fancy.2. Athletes before jumping the hook often do a long back outside the arc in preparation for the jump. Because everyone pays attention to the jump, the back outside arc before takeoff will also be obvious, creating the illusion that the back slide is more of a back slide than a front slide. For ice dancing and pairs skating, if the landlord looks closely, he or she will notice that the acceleration is better achieved by the two people holding together and pushing forward, because it is better for them to hold together and push forward than to hold behind. As for the answer upstairs, "forward skating increases frictional resistance and consumes a lot of physical energy" and "the center of gravity keeps floating in forward skating". It's actually quite simple. Because the power of upward skating comes from the feet, it is necessary to push forward, just like speed skating, both from the characteristics of figure skating blades and from speed skating movements. Artistic aesthetic analysis is inappropriate; a great deal of physical energy is expended due to increased frictional resistance, which is largely solved by sliding backwards. Additionally, there are six jumping maneuvers in figure skating competitions. With the exception of Axel's unique jump, which is a forward jump, the other five jumps are backward with the blade. This requires most jumpers to slide backward as they enter the jump. But the landlord's feel is not absolute. For example, in the glide program, straight-line steps and swallow sections, as well as many traditional accelerated glides, usually slide forward.
