Intensity of Old-Timer Hockey Play
The Physician and Sportsmedicine
|December 21, 2017
Summary
Recreational old-timer hockey is strenuous, with mean heart rates reaching 161 bpm (85% intensity). Physically unfit men should improve their fitness before playing to prevent injury.
Area of Science:
- Sports Medicine
- Exercise Physiology
Background:
- Old-timer hockey is a popular recreational activity for adult men.
- Assessing the physiological demands of recreational sports is crucial for injury prevention and health promotion.
Purpose of the Study:
- To measure the heart rate response of men playing old-timer hockey.
- To determine the intensity of play during recreational hockey games.
Main Methods:
- Twelve men from Montreal recreational hockey leagues participated.
- Heart rates were monitored during games, categorized by activity intensity.
- The Karvonen method was used to calculate exercise intensity.
Main Results:
- Mean heart rate during hockey play was 161 beats per minute.
- This represented 85% of maximum heart rate intensity.
- Activities were analyzed based on play intensity, including recovery periods.
Conclusions:
- Old-timer hockey involves strenuous physical activity.
- Physically unfit individuals may be at higher risk.
- Community programs should encourage fitness improvement before participation.

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

00:53Sound Intensity Level
4.9K
Humans perceive sound by hearing. The human ear helps sound waves reach the brain, which then interprets the waves and creates the perception of hearing. The loudness of the environment in which a person is located determines whether they can distinguish between different sound sources.
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and...

00:49Impulse-Momentum Theorem
19.5K
The total change in the motion of an object is proportional to the total force vector acting on it and the time over which it acts. This product is called impulse, a vector quantity with the same direction as the total force acting on the object.
By writing Newton's second law of motion in terms of the momentum of an object and the external force acting on it, and simultaneously using the definition of the impulse vector, it can be shown that the total impulse on an object is equal to its...

4.9K
The loudness of a sound source is related to how energetically the source is vibrating, consequently making the molecules of the propagation medium vibrate. To measure the loudness of a source, the physical quantity of interest is the intensity. This is defined as the energy emitted per unit of time per unit of area perpendicular to the sound wave's propagation direction. Since the total energy is greater if the source vibrates for a longer duration and over a larger area, dividing the...

The energy transport per unit area per unit time, or the Poynting vector, gives the energy flux of an electromagnetic wave at any specific time. For a plane electromagnetic wave with E0 and B0 as the peak electric and magnetic fields and traveling along the x-axis, the time-varying energy flux can be given by the following equation:

01:07Frictional Force
10.1K
When a body is in motion, it encounters resistance because the body interacts with its surroundings. This resistance is known as friction, a common yet complex force whose behavior is still not completely understood. Friction opposes relative motion between systems in contact, but also allows us to move. Friction arises in part due to the roughness of surfaces in contact. For one object to move along a surface, it must rise to where the peaks of the surface can skip along the bottom of the...
