Abstract

Background: In ice hockey, regular off-ice testing can serve as a controlling mechanism for a training program’s effectiveness. Objective: The main aim of this study was to describe changes in selected morphological and physiological parameters, intended to be relevant for a complex ice hockey performance, after two months of pre-season training preparation following one month of an off-season period. Methods: The sample consisted of 22 adult male players aged 18–39 years from a top Czech ice hockey league team. Two laboratory testing procedures performed at the end of the off-season and after two months of the pre-season conditioning consisted of basic anthropometry and body composition measurements, countermovement jump (CMJ), and maximal incremental test focused on the assessment of various parameters, including maximal oxygen consumption (V ̇ O 2 max), maximal power output during the test (Pmax) or estimation of anaerobic threshold intensity (ANT). Results: After the pre-season, we found a significant decrease in body fat (13.7 vs. 11.4%, p < .001) and an increase in fat-free mass (74.2 vs. 76.6 kg, p < .001), V̇ O 2 max (relative 48.8 vs. 52.6 ml · kg –1 · min –1 p = .001; absolute 4.20 vs. 4.54 L · min –1 , p < .001), Pmax (5.26 vs. 5.44 W · kg –1 , p = .011), power output at ANT (4.07 vs. 4.35 W · kg –1 , p < .001), and CMJ (44.9 vs. 47.1 cm, p = .002). Conclusions: Based on our results, two months of the pre-season training program led to a significant improvement in body composition and physical performance levels in professional Czech ice hockey players.

捷克职业冰球运动员休赛期与两个月训练准备后所选成绩相关参数的比较

背景:在冰球运动中，定期的场外测试可以作为训练计划有效性的控制机制。目的:本研究的主要目的是描述经过两个月的季前训练准备和一个月的休赛期后，选定的形态和生理参数的变化，旨在与复杂的冰球表现相关。方法:选取捷克某顶级冰球联赛球队18-39岁的成年男性球员22名。在休赛期结束和两个月的季前训练结束后进行的两个实验室测试程序包括基本的人体测量和身体成分测量，反向运动跳跃(CMJ)和最大增量测试，主要评估各种参数，包括最大耗氧量(V O 2 max)，测试期间的最大功率输出(Pmax)或估计厌氧阈值强度(ANT)。结果:季前赛结束后，我们发现体脂显著降低(13.7 vs. 11.4%， p < 0.001)，无脂质量(74.2 vs. 76.6 kg, p < 0.001)，最大V氧饱和度(相对48.8 vs. 52.6 ml·kg -1·min -1 p = 0.001);绝对4.20 vs. 4.54 L·min -1, p < 0.001)，最大Pmax (5.26 vs. 5.44 W·kg -1, p = 0.011)， ANT输出功率(4.07 vs. 4.35 W·kg -1, p < 0.001)和CMJ (44.9 vs. 47.1 cm, p = 0.002)。结论:基于我们的研究结果，两个月的季前训练计划使捷克职业冰球运动员的身体成分和身体表现水平有了显著的改善。
