Sprint Training for Hockey Skating Speed
June 29, 2009 by admin
Over recent years, studies have shown a correlation between running speed and skating speed. Yup, if a player skates fast, he or she is very likely to be a fast runner. And the same goes for a fast runner being an equally fast skater.
This, of course, is great news for hockey players who are looking for a way to increase their skating speed without the need for costly ice-time. In fact, as I’ve mentioned countless times in other entries — and I believe it’s the case here, the results of off-ice training often surpass what could ever be gained from on-ice work.
Now, I’ve done all the research for you, by studying what some of the best sprint coaches in the world are doing with their athletes. Then, I’ve slightly adapted some of what I’ve borrowed from them, mainly because we’re ultimately looking to help ice hockey players.
