Relationship between off-season changes in power and in-season changes in skating speed in young ice hockey players
(Beziehung zwischen den Veränderungen der Leistung in der Vorbereitungsperiode und den Veränderungen der Eislaufgeschwindigkeit in der Wettkampfsaison junger Eishockeyspieler)
The purpose of this study was to examine whether there exists a correlation between changes in off-season power and changes in in-season skating performance among young ice hockey players. Eighteen elite male players (15.8 ± 0.9) completed on-ice and off-ice performance tests on three separate occasions during a season. Forward and backward skating speed, on-ice agility test, 36 m sprint running performance, broad jump and countermovement jump (CMJ) were included. Off-season improvements in 36 m sprint running performance (r = 0.57, P= 0.02) and changes in broad jump (r = -0.48, P= 0.04) where significantly correlated with in-season improvements in forward skating speed. However, off-season changes in 36 m sprint running performance and jump ability were not significantly correlated with in-season improvements in backward skating speed or agility. These results suggest that an off-season training program that includes sprints and horizontal jumping exercises may have a positive effect on hockey players` linear skating speed.
