The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between specific performance measures and hockey skating speed. Thirty competitive secondary school and junior hockey players were timed for skating speed. Off-ice measures included a 40-yd (36.9-m) sprint, concentric squat jump, drop jump, 1 repetition maximum leg press, flexibility, and balance ratio (wobble board test). Pearson product moment correlations were used to quantify the relationships between the variables…

Evaluation of Skating Top Speed, Acceleration, and Multiple Repeated Sprint Speed Ice Hockey Performance Tests
TLDR
The TS, ACC, and MRST demonstrated excellent within- and between-day reliability and may be the most sensitive to short-term improvements related to ice hockey conditioning.
Predictors of Speed Using Off-Ice Measures of College Hockey Players
TLDR
It is suggested that meaningful performance testing in ice hockey players should occur mainly on the ice.
INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOME PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS AND ONE REPETITION MAXIMAL STRENGTH IN TRAINED ATHLETES
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between some performance parameters and one repetition maximal strength in trained athletes. In accordance with this purpose, thirty four…
RELATIONSHIPS TO SKATING PERFORMANCE IN COMPETITIVE HOCKEY PLAYERS
TLDR
While many office tests correlated with on-ice skating, measures of horizontal leg power (off-ice sprint and 3 hop jump) were the best predictors of on- ice skating performance, once weight and playing level were accounted for.
RELATIONSHIPS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST RESULTS AND PLAYER PERFORMANCE INDICATORS IN NATIONAL-LEVEL ICE HOCKEY PLAYERS
The aim of the study is to identify the relationships of the results of the physiological and anthropometric tests and special on-ice fitness tests with individual player performance indicators…
Limiting factors of skating performance in ice hockey
This work refers to determining factors of skating performance in ice hockey. We suppose that the performance in the ice hockey tests is limited by some factors as the explosive power of lower limbs…
The relationship between postural stability, core muscles endurance and agility in professional basketball players
TLDR
The athletes with good postural stability were better core muscle endurance and agility and it is important to apply exercise programs that enhance postural Stability and increase core Muscle endurance to improve sportive success.
Ice hockey skating sprints: run to glide mechanics of high calibre male and female athletes
TLDR
Overall, male and female skaters showed similar centre of mass trajectories, though magnitudes differed, and both sexes had similar stride-by-stride accelerations up to maximal speed.
Comparison of Endurance, Agility, and Strength in Elite Hockey and Soccer 9 Year-Old Players
Background. Regardless of the age, elite athletes exhibit various motor capabilities (e.g., speed; endurance; strength) that are specific to that particular sport. Objectives. The purpose of this…
Laboratory- and field-based testing as predictors of skating performance in competitive-level female ice hockey
TLDR
Field-based assessments, particularly single-leg tests, are an adequate substitute to more expensive and time-consuming laboratory assessments if the purpose is to gain knowledge about key performance characteristics of skating.

Prediction of skating speed with off-ice testing in professional hockey players.
TLDR
Off-ice functional tests included a 40-yd dash, standing long jump, and vertical jump, as well as isokinetic testing of the quadriceps and hamstrings at speeds of 60 and 180 degrees, and the single best predictor of skating speed was vertical jump anaerobic power.

TLDR
The results suggest that the least flexible runners are also the most economical, and it is possible that stiffer musculotendinous structures reduce the aerobic demand of submaximal running by facilitating a greater elastic energy return during the shortening phase of the stretch-shortening cycle.
Training effects of amortization phase with eccentric/concentric variations--the vertical jump.
TLDR
Although the three combinations of Ecc/Con movements existed during the training program, the force, velocity and muscle adaptations increased, but not all of the improvements were of the same degree.
Prediction of Ice Skating Performance With OffIce Testing in Women's Ice Hockey Players
TLDR
The results of this study show that 40-yd dash time is the strongest predictor of skating speed in women's hockey players ages 8–16 years old.
An Isokinetic Investigation of Contractile Mode's Effect on the Elbow Flexors
TLDR
Concentric biceps brachii and brachioradialis RMS values were significantly greater than corresponding eccentric values, suggesting greater motor unit recruitment and fatigue results from eccentric exercise.
Muscle Force and Activation Under Stable and Unstable Conditions
TLDR
Differences in isometric force output, muscle activation, and electromyographic activity of the quadriceps, plantar flexors, and their antagonists under stable and unstable conditions were determined.
Mode and speed specificity of eccentric and concentric exercise training.
TLDR
The eccentric mode of isokinetic exercise has highly specific strength training effects while the concentric mode has less specific training effects, and speed of exercise does not appear to have specificTraining effects.
Maintenance of EMG Activity and Loss of Force Output With Instability
TLDR
The diminished force output suggests that the overload stresses required for strength training necessitate the inclusion of resistance training on stable surfaces, and electromyographic activity was detected with concentric vs. eccentric or isometric contractions.

TLDR
The possible mechanisms of neural adaptation are discussed in relation to motor unit recruitment and firing patterns and the relative roles of neural and muscular adaptation in short- and long-term strength training are evaluated.
Neuromuscular Implications and Applications of Resistance Training
TLDR
Although most training studies show increases in EMG, a few have shown increase in strength with no apparent changes in neural drive, which may highlight the importance of motor control and the reorganization of supraspinal inputs.
