Brief Summary

This clinical trial aims to compare the difference between high-intensity interval training and common traditional training on physical fitness, skills, and tactical performance among college ice hockey players in China. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • 1\. How does high-intensity interval training affect the physical fitness of college ice hockey players?
  • 2\. How does high-intensity interval training affect the skills of college ice hockey players?
  • 3\. How does high-intensity interval training affect the tactical performance of college ice hockey players? Participants will be asked to do 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training and common traditional training to see if there are differences between the two and the positive effects of high-intensity interval training.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Maximal oxygen uptake performance among collegiate ice hockey players

    1\. Maximum oxygen uptake measured during intensity training at 90-95% of maximum heart rate (per minute, per kilogram of body weight, the maximum amount of oxygen obtained (milliliters) will be combined to report VO2 max in ml/kg-min), #ml/kg-min#

    before the experiment

  • The endurance performance of college ice hockey players

    1\. The endurance level of the athletes was assessed using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 scale. The evaluation range is 5-23 points; the higher the score, the higher the endurance level.

    before the experiment

  • The power performance of college ice hockey players

    1\. A countermovement jump and a squat jump evaluate the power. The higher the jump, the stronger the power, #cm#

    before the experiment

  • The agility and skill performance of college ice hockey players

    1. Using the Illinois Agility Test method of assessing athlete agility, the shorter the time, the higher the agility, #s# 2. The time to skate to 20- and 30-meter, #s# 3. The time to skate 20 meters with the ball, #s#

    before the experiment

  • The passing and shooting performance of college ice hockey players

    1. Number of passes at distance 20m each other in a minute, #pcs# 2. Number of successful shots on goal in one minute, #pcs#

    before the experiment

  • Tactical performance among college ice hockey

    1. Evaluate the effect of attacking tactics by the number of shots and goals scored. The more shots and goals scored, the better the tactical effect. 2. The offensive tactics were assessed based on the level of cooperation among players, their proficiency, and their success rate in passing and receiving. The coordination fluency was evaluated using a scale ranging from 1 to 10, where higher scores indicated greater fluency. The success rate was determined by calculating the percentage of successful passes out of the total passes made, multiplied by 100. Higher values reflected a higher success rate.

Study Arms (2)

1. Repeated Sprint 2. Interval Sprint 3.Long-Pass Tracking Drill 4. Chase-The-Rabbit Tracking Drill

EXPERIMENTAL

1. Make repeated sprints on the ice for a certain distance to measure its speed. 2. On the ice, perform 15 seconds of intermittent acceleration on the ice, with 30 seconds between each slide. 3. On the ice, make a long pass before taking a shot, then turn to track back. 4. On the ice, skate down the ice, 2 on 1, with a puck to pass and shoot.

Behavioral: Assigned Interventions

1. Varied Pace Skating 2.Driblling and Shooting Drill 3. Passing and Catching training 4. 2-on-1

EXPERIMENTAL

1. On the ice, a 1-minute accelerated skate and skating at an even pace for 2 minutes 2. On the ice, dribbling the ball and shooting at the goal 3. On the ice, they stood facing each other at a distance of 20 meters and practiced passing and catching. 4. On the ice, practice 2-on-1 offensive tactics and complete shots on goal.

Behavioral: Random Interventions

Interventions

Ice hockey players did 12 weeks of on-ice high-intensity interval training. Their training included: Repetitive sprint training Sprint interval training Long-pass tracking drills Chase-the-rabbit tracking drills High-intensity interval training in four types improved college ice hockey players' sports performance in 12 weeks.

Ice hockey players did 12 weeks of traditional on-ice training. Their training included: Varied pacing skating Dribbling and shooting Passing and catching drills 2-on-1 offensive tactics Traditional training in four types improved college ice hockey players' sports performance in 12 weeks. A 12-week on-ice training program was conducted on college players to observe its effects on their physical fitness, skills, and tactical performance compared to an experimental and control group.
