🕵🏼‍♂️We reviewed three studies that evaluated the speed-strength abilities, anaerobic alactic, anaerobic glycolytic, and aerobic power of hockey players before and after the competition period🏒.

📈The indicator of anaerobic alactic power increased by 3.6% by the end of the season, while the rest decreased [1]. 📉Aerobic power was affected to a lesser extent, which was reduced by 1.6% [2]. Anaerobic glycolytic power and speed-strength abilities fell more significantly, by more than 9% [2, 3]. 

👦🏼If we pay attention to young hockey players, using the example of Sevdalev's research on 13-year-old athletes, we will find a similar tendency [4]. Aerobic and anaerobic endurance, as well as speed-strength abilities are reduced by the end of the competition period, albeit to a lesser extent than is observed in older athletes.

Thank you!
