Social pain is closely associated with feelings of inadequacy, isolation, and decreased self-worth. Masters athletes often face unique challenges when it comes to maintaining their competitive identities, especially as physical abilities decline with age (Morris et al., 2018). We investigate and share coping mechanisms

My grandmother described hockey as a game played by jockeys running about like blue-arsed flies. It’s true the game is built on short, frequent,high-intensity efforts which are characterized as alactic-mixed with anaerobic sprints. We learn more about alactic training for hockey.

Pre-scanning and scanning are essential skills in hockey that directly impact decision-making, spatial awareness, and injury prevention. We look into how to improve these skills.

Understanding how torque is applied in hockey can inform training programs aimed at enhancing strength and power, ultimately improving a player's performance. Effective torque generation enhances performance through improved ball speed, control, and accuracy.

Hockey requires finely honed visual acuity and with it, effective hand-eye coordination (HEC). This neurological ability allows the body's visual system to guide hand movements and entrench kinematic patterns. We look into the science and suggest some training.
