Ice Hockey - Anatomy

Increase your muscle strength and the efficiency of your every movement on the ice! This book is an excellent and almost essential guide for players, coaches, sports physiotherapists, as well as amateur and enthusiast hockey players. Inside you will find the 96 most effective exercises, described step-by-step and supplemented with full-colour anatomical illustrations highlighting the muscles being targeted. In addition, there are 68 variations to complement the basic exercises, designed for those interested in a higher difficulty, more complex movements, or a different way to perform a given exercise. The book goes beyond regular exercise by taking you onto the ice and into the action – the exercises are accompanied by another drawing that shows their benefit in a game – through a stance, a player's position, or a specific action on the ice, also with the muscles strengthened by the exercise highlighted. The chapters are organised according to the goal you want to achieve with the exercise – strength, power (dynamics), speed, agility, mobility, balance, core stability, and post-injury rehabilitation. Dr. Michael Terry is the head physician for the Chicago Blackhawks, team physician for the Northwestern University athletic club, and the U.S. Olympic volleyball team. He is also the director of the sports medicine program in orthopaedic surgery at Northwestern University. Paul Goodman is the strength and conditioning coach for the Chicago Blackhawks and is responsible for the year-round preparation of all players in the organisation. He also focuses on the rehabilitation of injured athletes.
