There are two main strategies for improving repeat sprint ability:
- Improve initial sprint performance
- Improve recovery between sprints
If you’re interested in training strategies to improve speed, check out the previous series I did on Speed Training for Hockey (also available at my instagram account: @KevinNeeld)
Clearly, training to improve speed requires maximum effort, high-intensity work bouts. What may be less obvious is that the most effective strategies for training a player to SUSTAIN these high-intensity efforts lean heavily on aerobic training.
Train high to improve speed.
Train low to improve recovery.
High. Low.
A key message here is to MINIMIZE work at moderate intensities.
I’ll share some specific examples in future posts, but feel free to post any other comments/questions you have below. If you found this helpful, please share/re-post it so others can benefit.
To your success,
