“…Typically, anthropometry is used to describe the ÔidealÕ body size and composition for individual sports and positions (17), whereas aerobic and anaerobic performance may be monitored to identify changes during the season or in response to training programs (7,10,13). A wide variety of both laboratory and field tests can be used to assess on-and off-field physiological characteristics (e.g., maximal oxygen consumption, vertical jump) that may be related to performance during competition.…”

Previous ice hockey research has focused on physiological profiles and determinants of skating speed, but few studies have examined the association of preseason player evaluations with a measure of season-long performance. Understanding which tests are most predictive of player performance could help coaches organize practice and training more effectively. The purpose of this study was to describe physical characteristics and skill levels of 24 members of an NCAA Division I men's ice hockey team and relate them to game performance over the course of a season as measured by plus/minus (+/-) score. Subjects performed a battery of preseason tests including treadmill maximal aerobic capacity, body fat, leg press, push-ups, bench press, chin-ups, and sprinting ability both on and off ice. Pearson and Spearman correlations were used to examine correlations between preseason measures and +/- score. One coach also subjectively grouped the top and bottom 6 players, and analysis of variance was used to examine any differences in preseason measures and +/- score between these 2 groups. Leg press, chin-ups, bench press, and repeat sprint performance were significantly correlated with +/- score (r = 0.554, 0.462, 0.499, and -0.568, respectively). Teams with limited time and resources may choose to perform these tests to evaluate player potential efficiently. Only +/- score differed between top and bottom players suggesting that +/- accurately reflected the coach's perception of player success in this sample.

“…An average heart rate during a shift was between 170 and 180 bpm (Green et al, 1975b). However, no significant improvements were found in physical fitness characteristics, including resting and maximum heart rate, during ice hockey training (Daub et al, 1983;Green & Houston, 1975a). A similar age of player to that in the present investigation was studied by Paterson et al (1977), who used a heart rate telemetry technique to study the energy expenditure of twenty-eight to-year-old male hockey players.…”

“…Ice hockey players tend to weigh approximately 80 kg, are 180 cm tall and have about 10% body fat (Green & Houston 1975;Houston & Green 1976;Orvanova 1987;Agre et al 1988).
