Hockey Anatomy puts a blueprint in your hands for developing the strength you need to endure a physically demanding hockey season, from face-off to the championship game.

Sample Illustrations Power: Speed Russian Lunge (page 54) HOCKEY FOCUS The ability to recover and switch the legs under the body quickly while staying low is necessary to skate efficiently and explosively. This translates to a skater who can maintain speed of movement while delaying fatigue. Balance: Single-Leg Lateral Arm Reach (page 154) HOCKEY FOCUS Because players and the puck are constantly in motion, it is important to remain stable on one leg while visually tracking. Although this drill develops visual tracking skills in a controlled setting off the ice, players can easily transfer the skill to movement on the ice. Injury Rehabilitation: Internal and External Hip Rotation with Band (page 206) HOCKEY FOCUS The power of the stride comes from a forceful extension of the hip. This exercise focuses on the muscles responsible for explosive power and the muscles that keep the hip stable. Acceleration will be maximized when skating or when a goalie pushes off to cover the angles in the crease. Strength: Half-Kneeling Single-Arm Dumbbell Press with Twist (page 40) HOCKEY FOCUS This exercise focuses on unilateral shoulder strength and contralateral stabilization. In hockey, shooting and single-arm stick play both rely on a strong shoulder through the entire motion while the opposite side of the body remains stable.
