Are you ready to see what it takes to lace up the skates? Hockey
Anatomy will show you how to improve on-ice performance by increasing
muscular strength and optimizing efficiency of every movement.
Dr. Michael Terry, the team physician for the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks,
and Paul Goodman, the strength and conditioning coach for the Chicago
Blackhawks, share 96 of the most effective hockey exercises, each with
step-by-step descriptions and full-color anatomical illustrations to
show the muscles in action. You'll also find 68 exercise variations to
increase difficulty, add complex movements, or simply change up your
routine.
Hockey Anatomy goes beyond the exercises by taking you onto the ice
and into the action. Illustrations of the muscles involved in shooting,
passing, and stopping the puck show you how the exercises are
fundamentally linked to hockey performance. No matter your position, or
your hockey skill set, there is something here for you.
You'll also go into the training room to explore the anatomy of common
injuries as well as exercises for minimizing and recovering from such
setbacks.
Hockey Anatomy is essential reading for players, coaches, trainers,
and fans of the sport. If you love the action and artistry of hockey,
you are going to love this book.
