A deeper dive into the science behind hockey performance. If you want to become a better hockey player or are a coach who is looking to help players take their game to the next level - you're in the right spot.
Trying this for the 1st time today. Was able to do 20 steps for all 5 sets with 60 seconds in between. Game tonight so I'll try 20 steps X 5 with 30 seconds break pre-game and come back with my results. UPDATE: Game got canceled... I play tomorrow
I'm late to the party with this but this gentleman knows his stuff and is able to explain it very well. His or anybody else's thoughts on further replicating game day stress conditions with deliberate distractions would be interesting. Examples being ; having people use whistles/klaxons etc at you while doing these drills or very loud music or crowd noise being played.
There’s not a single video on RU-vid about riding a stationary bike after a game. All pros seem to do it. Was wondering what info you had on length and speed you think should be ridden for a proper cool down.
I have definitely felt that perceived time study while playing. Days where i got bad sleep, i would be out on the ice and when i look at how much time is left on the clock i almost suddenly felt discouraged. 100% mental
You get inflammation in your muscles because you injured your muscles. the bodies response is inflammation because your body is trying to protect that muscle. BUT your body needs to heal and make that muscle stronger and it can't do that during inflammation.
I just got back into hockey in my mid 40s. I lost 40 pounds on the Keto diet a few months ago and now on mixed metabolism eating. I'll have good carbs before hockey and go keto post hockey game/workout, so meats and some veggies. I found my recovery to be 4x better than it I had a pasta dinner after hockey. I then use the Lumen breath analyzer to give me an idea of what I'm burning and when to switch to carbs. So far it's been working great. My muscle is increasing and fat is dropping.
you could do the quick feet and stickhandling at the same time too to work your hand and feet coordination at the same time like those younger mcdavid drills right?
Dude, such a phenomenal video. Your ability to break down the material in such a basic level for all of us concy’d hockey dudes is much appreciated lol. Also such clear and concise talking with incredible breath stamina! Love it, and thank you!
Very interesting and understandable video, without being a Hockey pro but former athlete like myself. My son (Hockey pro in the making) asked me to watch it to translate it for him (English to German). Now I can tell him further to RECOVER more😉 Thank you very much for your great work🎉
Does that mean doing a method called greasing the groove for improving one specific movement is not optimal? Since you do multiple sets not close to failure with a long rest time.
It's effective for beginners to early intermediates because basically any rep for them is an effective rep, but at a certain level it stops working because you aren't performing any effective reps which are required to become advanced.
Dan, great job! Your Spidey Sense is once again spot on. I love that you included the RIR for in season and out of season workouts in the MLD 2022 program!
I would assume it’s the same for practice but what about training. Would I take the same post workout drink after a hard conditioning session compare to a strength session?
Trying to control for every drop of sweat will drive you mad. Drinking the same thing does not create a negative outcome so I would do this every time.
Would you recommend a post workout protein shake for Youth Rep Level Hockey? Water + Whey + Gatorade Powder? In the ratios you have per kg of body weight?
In a full program format, you'll do total body workouts all off-season long here: www.hockeytraining.com/offseason Some examples also exist on our other RU-vid channel: ru-vid.com
How many calories does the average hockey player burn in a given game? Google says that a typical NHL player can burn between 1800 - 2500 calories per game. It also states that a person competing recreationally can burn 500 - 1000. I find both of these numbers hard to believe since nobody's TOI is a full hour. A typical TOI for anyone is 12-15 minutes per game. Elite NHLers go from 15-20 minutes a game, and go much harder, so it makes sense for their caloric burn to be higher. What is your opinion on this and is Google accurate? I would love to know this since the data seems flawed to me. Thanks.
The data is flawed because it's impossible to provide this recommendation for a broad population. There are tons of variables that come into play when it comes to energy expenditure (diet, sleep, hormones, total body size, pace of the game, your position, how much ice time you receive, your technical efficiency, the temperature of the rink, among many others) which make the measurement not something I take into consideration for meal plan design. With that said, it's probably closer to the suggested 500-1000kcals number as 2500kcals is very extreme.
I have the off season domination on the app, should I preform there’s every day around the workouts/training? Also on lighter days would you recommend implementing other workouts or on ice skating workouts?
Hey there, Off-Season Domination is only available at www.hockeytraining.com/offseason and is not on the Hockey Training TV app. The PAP/IQ/MOP routines are performed on resistance training days only on that specific program design 👍 As for your other question, light days are designed to be light to allow for recovery to take place. If you go too hard too often you will gain less results than if you allow yourself to properly recover between intense sessions.
@@hockeyscienceunleashed Thanks for the reply! Also just wanted to let you guys know that you are my most trusted source for any hockey info and you guys just put out the highest quality material.
