Ice Hockey Skates Jr
Hockey dryland training is so important that no player wanting to reach their potential can afford to ignore it. The fact is that there simply aren’t enough hours on the ice for the vast majority of players to get the work in they need to reach their maximum potential. Here are three great tips on how to use dryland training to maximize your on-ice performance.
1) Use intervals to approximate shifts
When you play hockey, you don’t exert the a constant amount of energy over the entire game. In hockey you hit the ice for 45 seconds to a minute, then head back to the bench for a rest. Consider structuring some of your running and dry land like this, doing a minute of intense work followed by 2 minutes of low intensity.
2) Improve your speed by timing yourself.
Speed is of the utmost important in hockey, and you can help improve your speed by timing your exercises, especially runs. If you never time yourself, you’ll never have a measure of your improvement. Keeping track of your times and always working to beat your best will continuously keep you improving.
3) Add plyometrics into your workouts to improve power and quickness.
Plyometrics are a hockey player’s best friend. Hockey is a game of fast, dynamic, powerful movements, which is exactly what plyometrics is built around. Plyometrics is all about explosive movements, and performing plyometrics exercises will have great benefits to your on-ice game.
Following these three tips will help you use your off-ice time to improve your on-ice game. Ice time is hard to come by, and extremely expensive. If you only train when you’re at the rink, you’re leaving a lot of potential gains on the table. These tips will help you a lot, but they’re only a few of many ways you can train off-ice. For the absolute best results, invest in a good hockey training guide, or consult a coach or trainer to help you develop a total workout. Whatever you do though, never ignore your hockey dryland training; it’s an essential piece of the puzzle when trying to be the best you can be.
