Speed skating is a key competition for gold medal in the winter Olympic Games in China. The current training methods are inefficient, which is not conducive to the improvement of athletes’ strength and the mastery of technical movements.In this paper, a speed skating starter trainer is proposed, which uses the system parameter design theory and AMESim system simulation technology to complete the system design of the hydraulic circuit of the speed skating starter trainer.Based on the AMESim hydraulic components design library, the simulation model of the system circuit was established to analyze the pressure characteristics, flow characteristics and torque characteristics of each circuit system, and to verify the rationality of the system design.
