Your
conditioning program will be constructed based on the energy
sources that are used during Ice Hockey, which are
roughly 40% ATP/CP, 40% glycolytic, and 20% oxidative. Why is
this important to know? Many people think if they skate for
hours that they are conditioning their bodies to become a
better player however, this is not true. Ice Hockey only
derives about 20% of its energy requirements aerobically. It's
true that a good aerobic capability is important, especially
for recovery from high intensity plays and to postpone
fatigue. The greater source of energy contribution however is
actually anaerobic . A quick change of direction, a hard
check, a screaming slap shot are all examples of explosive
actions that are perform through either ATP/CP or anaerobic
glycolysis.
There are many different types of strength. The two types that
Players of ice hockey require the most of are absolute
strength and relative strength. This is very crucial in your
program design and will used as a template for your exercise
choice, intensity, and weight.
After you build up your aerobic ability and develop
appropriate strength and flexibility, you will see a change in
your program design incorporating advanced training techniques
that are sport specific to ice hockey alone. Your advance
×> training will soon bring you above and beyond your current
capabilities. Since Ice Hockey is a seasonal sport,
periodization is essential. Your workout program will be
divided into the four seasons, off-season, pre-season,
in-season, and post-season. This procedure will allow you to
maximize your training conditions. In addition to exercises,
stretching will also be implemented into your workout routine.
