Components of Fitness
When trying to interpret fitness testing results, it is important
to have an idea of what are the relative importance of specific
fitness components. To help in determining what components of fitness,
such as speed, endurance, strength etc. are important for hockey,
I have made this rating list, which asked readers to rate the different
components of fitness on a scale of one (low) to five (high).
Apart from skill (which would be a very important ability), the relative importance of the physiological parameters listed in this table differ in their contributions to making a champion hockey player.
Results
The higher the rating, the more important that people considered that component to achieving success in hockey.
