150-Yard Shuttle Run
This is a video of two pro guys battling it out in a 150-yard shuttle. I use shorter distance shuttles for conditioning at the beginning of an off-season training program.
Backward Sled Drag
A great exercise to include as part of a work capacity or conditioning circuit for hockey players. This really lights up the quads too so I’ll use this for extra leg work in athletes that have a hamstring injury or are recovering from ACL surgery.
Forward Sled Drag
An awesome high intensity conditioning or work capacity exercise for hockey players. With lighter loads, this can also be a great speed drill to improve neural activation of the working muscles.
Lateral Sled Drag
An awesome hockey-specific high intensity conditioning or work capacity exercise. I emphasize driving off the leg that pushes back behind the other leg, as in a crossover.
Band Resisted Slideboard (Ankle-Close)
I use this at the end of a conditioning progression to put a little more stress on the adductors as the athlete drags his foot behind him and when recovering the trail leg.
Band Resisted Slideboard (Ankle-Diagonal)
This just shows how I set up the vertimax to provide resistance to the ankle of this player while he slideboards. This same exercise can be done with any tubing.
Band Resisted Slideboard (Ankle-Far)
Another video showing the ankle band resisted slideboard. The video shows how I set up the vertimax to add a little stress to this player’s adductors while performing this exercise.
Band Resisted Slideboard (Hip-Close)
The end of a slideboard conditioning program using a vertimax to provide resistance at the hip. This forces him to push off harder on one side and decelerate more force coming back.
Band Resisted Slideboard (Hip-Diagonal)
The end of a slideboard conditioning program using a vertimax to provide resistance at the hip. This forces him to push off harder on one side and decelerate more force coming back.
Band Resisted Slideboard (Hip-Far)
The end of a slideboard conditioning program using a vertimax to provide resistance at the hip. This forces him to push off harder on one side and decelerate more force coming back.
