Muscular Strength & Endurance
Power
Key to muscular improvements:Key to muscular improvements:
Overload principle!!!Overload principle!!!
Training muscles at an intensity above the level that they are accustomed to for the development of
strength, size, and endurance
Key to muscular improvements:Key to muscular improvements:
Overload principle!!!Overload principle!!!
Ways to provide overload:
resistance load
sets & reps
rest periods
frequency
type of exercise
USA Hockey Intermediate Coaching Program

Specificity of Training example: explosive sporting event
train using explosive movements!!! faster contractions may also lead to > strength!
Hockey: practice like you play! drill emphasis:

Carbohydrates and Performance
CHO goals for diet at least 58% of total Kcals
provides for adequate muscle storage athletes’ diets have been shown to be ~ 50% CHO
too low for most
Endurance performance improved by a diet high in CHO hockey????
most research done during prolonged exercise
USA Hockey Intermediate Coaching Program
CHO: pre-exercise
1-4 hours before exercise improve performance by elevating blood sugar avoid the sensation of hunger provide adequate hydration
Content mostly complex carbohydrates
1-5 grams CHO/kg body weight
USA Hockey Intermediate Coaching Program
CHO: during exercise
Adequate pre-exercise nutrition no need to ingest CHO for exercise < 90 min
good for hockey Gatorade not needed!
USA Hockey Intermediate Coaching Program
CHO: during exercise
No difference between solid & liquid use what you trained with!!
liquid form may promote better hydration
Use solutions that leave stomach faster 6% CHO solutions or < with low fructose
Gatorade important for hydration (1 L/hr)!
USA Hockey Intermediate Coaching Program
Optimizing CHO stores after exercise
Goal: replenish CHO stores! Optimal CHO ingestion: 0.7 g/kg/hr Simpler the better for CHO
Gatorade-type drink may be good Ingest ASAP!
within 2 hrs
USA Hockey Intermediate Coaching Program
Protein requirement for training
Average protein intake is ~1.5 g/kg/day enough to meet requirements w/o supplements!
Resistance training 1.2 g/kg/day for maintaining strength
USA Hockey Intermediate Coaching Program
Preventing dehydration
During exercise duration less than 1 hour
water only duration greater than 1 hour
water plus electrolyte maybe CHO
flavored drink may work better with kids may help get them to drink studies show kids don’t drink enough even when H2O is readily available
USA Hockey Intermediate Coaching Program
Considerations for Hockey
Suggestions: know signs/symptoms of dehydration drink water before, during, & after game
don’t rely on “thirst response”
encourage H2O during practice condition them to drink during games
consider flavored drinks for youth for overall hydration just as good as H2O!!
