Název v původním jazyce

Assessment of physical parameters and age of current Canadian-American National Hockey League (NHL) ice hockey players in relation to game position and player success

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The objective of the study was an analysis of physical parameters and age of current ice hockey players in the National Hockey League in relation to various gaming positions and player success. The data were obtained from a total of 974 players and divided according to gaming positions [Goalkeepers (N = 92); Defenders (N = 308); Forwards (N = 574)]. The associations between physical parameters and player success were estimated using the Spearman?s correlation. The level of statistical significance was tested at a level of ? ? 0.05; ? ? 0.01. A statistical analysis did not confirm significant associations between the parameters of body height, body weight and BMI on the one hand, and the monitored objective indicators of player success of goalkeepers, defenders and forwards on the other hand. On the contrary, the study indicated significant associations between the basic physical parameters and negative player behaviour represented by increased number of penalty minutes, especially for defenders and forwards. A major determinant of player performance seems to be the age factor. It was revealed that increasing player age corresponds with player success in many monitored parameters in all gaming positions. The findings help clarify the partial factors affecting the overall performance in ice hockey players with regard to their gaming positions in the NHL.
