Research Study Gives Training Guru Black Eye
Here’s something you may find interesting.
One of the things I talk about in my Next Level Hockey Training System is the importance of getting strong (relative to your bodyweight)…
And how becoming strong will help you better perform on the ice.
It’s amazing how many hockey players don’t get this.
They’ll run laps and lift puny weights all day long because they listened to some clueless “training guru” on the internet.
Here’s the kicker…
A study from 2011 compared off-ice testing results and game performance of 24 members of an NCAA D1 men’s hockey team.
Among a battery of fitness tests, the researchers found only a few tests to be predictive of player performance.
Those were…
* Leg press
* Chin-up
* Bench press
* Repeat sprinting ability
While I personally don’t value the leg press for athletic performance (a squat variation would be better in my honest, but ALWAYS accurate, opinion), the proof is in the pudding…
Lower and upper body strength combined with speed and explosiveness maketh a hockey player.
It’s what I’ve been saying all along.
