Workout With Pro Hockey Players Off The Ice


hi I’m Veronica’s watchmojo.com and
today we’re learning how professional
hockey players train and stay fit
so can you begin by telling us about the
guys that you’re working with today well
Ruslan fed with ankle was with the
Pittsburgh Penguin two-time Stanley Cup
champion how swab you saw the Washington
Capitals metric al Montreal Canadiens
and Lomas Quinn that I thank New York
Rangers so what type of workout do you
do for these hockey players well like
today was more upper-body or only about
three weeks off camp the intensity is
very high we keep it at 15 seconds time
under tension with 30 seconds off to
mimic a fit what’s going on on the ice I
like to keep the workout very short at
that time because they’re on the ice
four times a week and also to work on
the areas of injuries in the arms and
the shoulder blades now what’s the
difference in training between off and
on season sadly in the NHL there’s none
enough off ice conditioning in season
they’re doing a lot of the TRX now a lot
of the suspension stuff a lot of my
veterans they’re allowed to do my stuff
they don’t have to follow the team most
hockey players will have hip problems
knee is a big area in the shoulders then
he has to be addressed in season a lot
as specific warm-ups and specific model
fashion stretches so I know you were
doing upper body today but what muscles
very focusing on because these are
hockey players it’s all a question of
posture balancing the muscle a lot of
abdominals if there’s one area that they
have to really really take the time is
the abdominals and the feet if you
control the balance of the posture
through the feet and the abdominals you
have at least 60 70 percent of the job
done the first 15 minutes we spend a lot
of time on the scapular girdle all the
rotator cuff then we’ll go to the elbow
flexors then the last part was more back
pectorals the pushing and pulling
muscles that’s to ensure to them that
they have enough power on the ice to
either push or pull and also you need a
lot of core stability when you do these
movements
you train each player differently
depending on its position on the ice
not really we will modify the program
for their injury sites more defenseman
will change it on the ice a bit but in
the gym you would take a hockey player
it’s very difficult to differentiate
offensive and defensive it’s more a
personal based on postural eval and
injury locations
do you still train them even if they’re
injured as an example ruse line
yesterday hurt his back a bit jumping
stuff and he was still here today but
that’s why spending a little more time
stretching because we were going on the
ice this afternoon but I modified a bit
as his work out to make sure that he
didn’t aggravate what he did yesterday
now resistance training and cardio
training is important by stretching also
important for your athletes all my
athletes they do 20 to 30 minutes after
a workout
then they’ll redo it later at night you
need to they have no choice that are
here for an hour now or 15 they’ll be on
the ice this afternoon for an hour and a
half you need a minimum of 30 to 40
minutes of myofascial stretching and the
co-optation of the vertebrae to ensure
that tomorrow they’ll be ready because
tomorrow we have even a tougher time is
there anything else you want to leave us
with these guys after a brutal 82 games
and coming here for 6 to 12 weeks the
transfer give them a lot more respect us
they’re killing himself in the summer to
be good on the ice for you guys in the
winter thank you very much my pleasure
