Explore the physiological underpinnings of elite ice hockey performance. This episode dives into how muscle proteins, enzymes, and aerobic capacity influence skating speed, endurance, and high-intensity efforts.
Discover the role of skeletal muscle traits in elite hockey. Learn how ion transporters, metabolic enzymes, and positional roles shape in-game performance and endurance in high-intensity skating.
