The Science of Hockey Skating

Description

Science of Hockey Skating

1 hour 36 minutes of instructions

This second DVD in the series shows how the biomechanical technique is different for all the skating sports and leads us through the KEY to the whole series the 5 part model for hockey skating or powerskating. The bulk of this DVD gathers all the scientific research on the hockey stride and show the principle factors that determine hockey skating speed. Then, the DVD finishes with a high light presentation of strength, speed, power, overspeed, conditioning and acceleration exercises.
