AIM: Speed skills are among the decisive factors in sports performance in ice hockey. Therefore, it is necessary to examine them in all age categories. Our goal was to determine the effect of plyometric exercises on the level of running and skating speed at 40 m with changes of direction in young hockey players aged 14-15 years.METHODS: The research group consisted of 33 ice hockey players (Male; age: 14.7 ± 0.7; height: 166.5cm ± 7.3; weight: 53.4kg ± 6.9) divided into two sets. HC 05 Banská Bystrica players formed an experimental group (n = 18), MHC Martin players formed a control group (n = 15). During 8 weeks, the players completed training units of general preparation and training units on ice, in the experimental set was added an experimental factor of plyometric exercises carried out according to the training protocol. Speed diagnostics consisted of the following two tests: running at 40 m with changes of direction and skating forward at 40 m with changes of direction.RESULTS: Between the results of the tests in running speed and skating speed, significant differences were found both in the pretest and in the posttest between the experimental (EXP) and the control (KO) set in favor of the EXP set. Thus, the EXP set did not show the effect of plyometric exercises on improving the level of running speed and only a small effect on improving the level of skating speed.CONCLUSION: The results of the quasi-experiment showed that the influence of plyometric exercises on the improvement of the level of running and skating speed of the players of the experimental group was not proven. In further research, it will be necessary to modify the training protocol and verify its application to comparable files.

Abstract The pre-season preparation aim is to improve the components of physical performance through the changes in training intensity, gradual increment in volume, variation in training frequency and optimizing the body composition. The problem in team sports is the lack of individualization, because most coaches in team sports focus their training on the group and not on improving each player’s strengths and weaknesses. The aim of this study is to identify differences in the body composition and physical performance of young ice-hockey players (15-18 years) with different pre-season training approaches (collective vs. individual). This longitudinal study monitored 13 ice-hockey players with collective training and 8 ice-hockey players with individual training during their pre-season preparation. Body composition was measured by bioimpedance analyzer BIA 101 (Akern, S.R.L.) and the Myotest PRO determined player physical performance in power, force and velocity. Performance and body composition comparisons showed gradual increase in the differences between the two studied groups during the training process. This increase escalated to significant differences in the final output test results and was especially noted in the upper limbs power and force (p=0.016; p<0.001) and lower limbs power and force (p=0.029; p=0.001) with better performance results by individual training approach. Stepwise linear regression also showed significant relationship between upper limbs power, resistance (p<0.001) and fat mass (p<0.001). The upper limbs force was significantly associated with intra-cellular (p<0.001) and extra-cellular water (p=0.026), body cell mass index (p<0.001), basal metabolic rate (p<0.001) and training approach (p<0.001), while the lower limbs power was significantly associated with total body water (p<0.001), training approach (p=0.033) and the pre-season preparation phase (p<0.001). In addition, the training approach (p<0.001), preparation phase (p<0.001), player position (p=0.012) and fat free mass (p<0.001) were significantly associated with lowers limb force. Our results indicate the importance of using an individual training approach and optimal body composition in physical performance progression.

Objective Concussion is a common injury in ice hockey, and previous research suggests some misconceptions and unsafe attitudes amongst players. The purpose of this study was to assess sport concussion knowledge, attitudes and the effect of sport concussion history in UK-based male ice hockey players across three levels of competition: professional, semi-professional and amateur. Methods Sixty-one participants across a number of UK ice hockey teams completed the Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey and reviewed a series of statements to assess knowledge (concussion knowledge index), attitudes (concussion attitude index) and misconceptions of concussion. Results Level of competition and concussion history had no significant effect on concussion knowledge index or concussion attitude index. A positive significant relationship exists between playing experience and concussion knowledge index and concussion attitude index. Statements identified common misconceptions and areas of accurate knowledge regarding concussion symptoms suggesting that male ice hockey players have a higher level knowledge compared to a sample of the UK general public. Playing experience was associated with increased knowledge and increasingly safe attitudes towards concussion. Conclusion Despite knowledge relating to loss of consciousness and correct management of symptoms being generally accurate, there are worryingly unsafe attitudes regarding aspects of concussion. Such attitudes may well pose significant threats to players’ safety and long-term health.
