Strength Training for Hockey

It is highly dependent on a number of physical qualities such as strength, speed, power, agility, endurance, and mobility. All these qualities require the ability to produce force at varying amounts and velocities. Because strength is the expression of force, strength training can play a massive role in a hockey athlete’s performance. Developed with the expertise of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Strength Training for Hockey provides a general overarching biomechanical analysis of hockey and specific analyses of the physical demands of each position: goalie, forward, and defense. Using these analyses, you can design an effective training program that translates to performance on the ice. You will also find the following: • 8 detailed protocols to test strength, power, speed, and body composition • 5 total body resistance exercises with 9 variations
