Abstract

The main goal of this study was to determine the predictive value of the indexes of aerobic and anaerobic endurance in relation to the specific on-ice tests performed by hockey players. Our subjects included ice hockey players who were members of the Polish Hockey League. Based on our data, we have identified significant correlations between maximal power obtained from the Wingate test and certain aspects of the special physical fitness test, specifically the 30m forward sprint, 6 × 9 turns and 6 × 30 m endurance tests. Significant correlations of the above-mentioned special physical fitness tests were also observed with the aerobic capacity parameter VO2max. The athletes who were faster in 30 m forward sprint, 6 × 9 m stops, 6 × 9 m turns and Endurance (6 × 30 m) tests achieved higher power values in the Wingate test and showed higher VO2max.
