The purpose of this study was to describe characteristics of physique,
motor fitness and cardiovascular fitness of University ice hockey players.
Fourteen University of British Columbia varsity ice hockey players were
given selected tests of physique, motor fitness and cardiovascular fitness. The
tests were administered during the last month of the competitive season.
In the physique area the subjects were characterized by extreme mesomorphy,
average endomorphy, low ectomorphy, low fat measurements, had relatively
long trunks, wide hips, slightly above average shoulder width and arm proportions
that are mechanically suited for efficient mechanical manoeuvering of a light instrument
such as a hockey stick.
The motor fitness tests ranged from average to good and could not be
considered excellent for a group of athletes.
The cardiovascular measurements ranged from good to excellent. These
results were attributed to the nature of the sport and the demanding interval-like
training program which the hockey team had undergone during the season. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate
