Strength Training for Hockey

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

Ice hockey is said to be the fastest sport played on your feet. 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 athletes 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
  • 11 lower body exercises with 30 variations
  • 13 upper body exercises with 39 variations
  • 16 anatomical core exercises with 40 variations
  • 30 sample programs for off-season, preseason, in-season, and postseason resistance training
For each exercise, you will find a series of photos and a detailed list of primary muscles trained, beginning position and movement phases, breathing guidelines, modifications and variations, and coaching tips. Youll also gain a deeper understanding of what muscles are involved in each exercise so you can develop a complete and targeted resistance training program.

Backed by the NSCA and the knowledge and experience of individuals who have years of experience as strength and conditioning professionals for hockey, Strength Training for Hockey is the authoritative resource for creating hockey-specific resistance training programs.
