How do figure skaters not get dizzy when spinning so quickly?
In: Physics
I’m a dancer not a figure skater but we both use a method called “spotting”. Basically when we turn, we pick one spot on a wall, in the audience etc. and keep our eyes and head centered on that dot for as long as possible each rotation. Then, quickly spinning our heads and refocusing on the one spot. By doing this our eyes are not roaming in circles and it can mostly prevent dizziness.
