Abstract:
Silvestri, MA, Cleather, DJ, Callaghan, S, Perri, J, and Legg, HS. Examining the determinants of skating speed in ice hockey athletes: a systematic review. J Strength Cond Res 39(4): 507-514, 2025-Ice hockey is a physically demanding sport that requires athletes to maintain high skating speed for optimal performance. This systematic review examines existing research on testing ice hockey athletes in relation to skating speed and identifies key metrics to inform future decisions on the most suitable testing regimes. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed for the literature search. After the literature search and application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 19 studies were deemed eligible. The identified measures that showed a significant correlation with ice skating performance were on-land sprinting, jumping, body composition, and anaerobic power. These findings highlight the multifactorial nature of skating performance and suggest that a range of tests may be necessary to identify critical factors to overall skating performance; however, further research is needed to confirm this hypothesis.

01:10Energy Diagrams - II
The point in the energy diagram at which the system’s potential energy is the lowest is known as the local minima. The system tends to stay in this position indefinitely unless acted upon by a net force. The slope of the potential energy diagram at the local minima is zero, indicating that zero net force is acting on the system. The slope...

The activity coefficient value for an ion is close to one when the solution has almost zero ionic strength, i.e., when the solution shows close to ideal behavior. As the ionic strength of the solution increases from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, a decrease in the...
