  • I am a hockey player and i always use agility yes you need speed but most of all you need movement flexibility and skills + you need to play as a team i should know i am good at hockey (from damon, Jan 2012)

  • I think that hockey is all about the agility, reaction time and cardiovascular endurance. This is because we are on the field for 90 minutes a game with very little rest unless we are on the bench. We are running back and forth the whole time so we need to be fast and react quickly. The ball can be passed to us with a few seconds notice. (from Samantha Love, Oct 2010)

  • balance is related in all the nueromuscular function and brain it avoid injuries. (from ganesh indian Oct, 2010)
