Benefits

With the use of the hockey treadmill, the training centre staff can analyze skaters' mechanics and correct general skating flaws.  G & G Skate Training Centre uses video analysis for developing proper stride technique.  Other unique advantages include:

 

Dynamic sprint speed improvement

* Improved body composition

* Optimizing the skater's body awareness with the use of mirrors and video

* Increased acceleration

* Overall conditioning

* Specific training to the lower abdomen and groin regions

 

Why do so many athletes lose speed and power on the ice?

 

1. Poor efficiency

2. Weak leg strength

3. Poor Muscle recruitment

 

Now using the Woodway Skating treadmill, athletes can have every stride watched and critiqued, which can improve their muscular endurance and strength.

 

Every player from Novice to Professional has potential.  Whether or not that potential is reached is based on their physical experiences on and off the ice.  Sheer motivation and hard work are no guarantees for success if the quality of their learning is poor.  At G & G Skate Training Centre, athletes are provided with constant 1 on 1 attention while on the treadmill to ensure that they are working efficiently and effectively 100% of the time.

 

The hockey treadmill increases coordination patterns in skating mechanics that will translate directly to the ice.
