STEP-BY-STEP SYSTEM OF SPEED DEVELOPMENT IN ATHLETES FROM HOCKEY

Artur Akulinichev

Abstract


This article presents a systematic approach to developing speed in hockey athletes. Speed is a critical factor influencing performance in hockey, impacting both offensive and defensive actions. The proposed step-by-step system includes a baseline assessment, strength training, speed technique development, plyometric training, and sport-specific speed drills. Each phase is designed to enhance various components of speed, ultimately improving on-ice performance. The implementation of this training system was evaluated through a series of performance tests, demonstrating significant improvements in sprint times and agility among participating athletes. This article aims to provide coaches and trainers with a comprehensive framework for speed development in hockey.
