Hockey Anatomy (EPUB)

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.

By getting you on the rink and immersed in the action, Hockey Anatomy takes you beyond the drills. You can see how the exercises are essentially related to hockey play by looking at examples of the muscles used in shooting, passing, and stopping the puck. There is something here for everyone, regardless of position or hockey skill level.

Additionally, you’ll enter the training room to learn about the anatomy of common injuries and how to minimize and recover from them.

Players, coaches, trainers, and hockey fans should all read Hockey Anatomy. You will adore this book if you enjoy hockey’s action and creativity.
