Paperback. 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 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 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. You'll 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.Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing education exam that uses this book is also available. It may be purchased separately or as part of a package that includes both the book and exam. Boost hockey performance with targeted strength training that builds power, speed, agility, and endurance. Expert biomechanical insights and tailored resistance protocols for goalies, forwards, and defense combine with detailed exercise variations and testing methods to enhance each athletes on-ice performance. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
