The Effects of BungeeSkate[superscript]TM Training on Measures of On-Ice Acceleration and Speed

Abstract

Color poster with text, photographs, figures, tables, and graphs.Previous research has stated that dry land sled pulling trains first step quickness in hockey players. Further research has demonstrated that off-ice horizontal training (sled pull, parachute, etc.) relates well to on-ice acceleration and speed. However, there is limited literature pertaining to on-ice resistance training that aims to enhance speed and acceleration in hockey players. The purpose of the present study was to determine if on-ice BungeeSkate training will improve on-ice speed and acceleration in youth hockey players.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
