How do you measure up to NHL hockey players?
A research team at the University of Manitoba is looking for hockey players to participate in a study exploring how warm-up exercises impact on-ice performance.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the inclusion of a dynamic warm-up prior to the
Wingate Test will increase anaerobic performance of ice hockey players.
Did you know the average NHL player has a VO2 of 55-60 ml/kg/min? What’s yours?
The Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management research team also aims to determine whether biological variability impacts participants responses to the dynamic warm-up intervention.
Here are the details:
- Five tests in different days: 1 VO2max test and 4 bouts of 30-second high intensity cycling (Wingate Anaerobic Test) with/without dynamic warm-up
- Wingate testing is used in professional sport combines/testing
- Analysis of cardiovascular and anaerobic performances
- Conducted at the University of Manitoba
