A comparison of somatic variables of elite ice hockey players from the Czech ELH and Russian KHL

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The goals of this study were to evaluate the basic morphological variables of contemporary elite ice hockey players, compare the parameters of players in the top Russian ice hockey league (KHL) with those of the top Czech ice hockey league (ELH), and toevaluate the parameters of players according to their position in the game. The research participants included 30 KHL players (mean age: 27.1 +- 5.1 years) and 25 ELH players (mean age: 26.4 +- 5.8 years). We determined body height, body mass, and body composition (body fat, fat-free mass, segmental fat analysis). All measurements were performed at the end of preseason training. The results indicate that it is beneficial to ice hockey players to have increased body mass and lower body fat, which leads to higher muscle mass, thus enabling a player to perform at the highest level and meet the specific challenges of the game.
