The Starting Line Up Description
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to “The Starting Line-Up”; an off-ice program designed for explosive power, peak performance, and increased stamina. My goal is to focus your son /daughter on achieving their physical potential, teamwork, and last but not least, to have fun.
To achieve this goal I will be using various plyometric exercises. For those of you that don’t know, plyometrics is a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system, generally for the purpose of improving performance in sports. Plyometric movements, in which a muscle is loaded and then contracted in rapid sequence, use the strength, elasticity and innervation of muscle and surrounding tissues to jump higher, skate faster, throw farther, or hit harder. Plyometrics is used to increase the speed or force of muscular contractions, providing explosiveness for a variety of sport-specific activities. Plyometrics has been shown to be beneficial to a variety of athletes. Benefits range from injury prevention, power development, and sprint performance amongst others.
