Relationship between body composition, leg strength, anaerobic power, and on-ice skating performance in division I men's hockey athletes.

摘要: The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between laboratory tests and on-ice skating performance in division I men's hockey athletes. Twenty-one men (age 20.7 +/- 1.6 years) were assessed for body composition, isokinetic force production the quadriceps hamstring muscles, anaerobic muscle power via Wingate 30-second cycle ergometer test. Air displacement plethysmography used determine % fat (%FAT), fat-free mass (FFM), mass. Peak torque total work during 10 maximal effort repetitions at 120 degrees .s measured concentric actions using an dynamometer. Muscle a Monark with resistance set 7.5% On-ice 6 timed 89-m sprints subjects wearing full equipment. First length skate (FLS) 54 m, (TLS) 89 m fastest average times analysis. Correlation coefficients testing performance. Subjects had 88.8 7.8 kg %FAT 11.9 4.6. skate-Average TLS-Average moderately correlated ([r = 0.53; p 0.013] [r 0.57; 0.007]) such that greater related slower speeds. skate-Fastest percent fatigue index (r -0.48; 0.027) FLS-Average peak per kilogram -0.43; 0.05). Laboratory select variables can predict ice This information be develop targeted effective strength conditioning programs will improve speed.
