Susanica,
Plyometrics refers to a type of intense physical training involving fast,
explosive exercises to improve power output and neural activation of the
muscles. It's normally performed with body weight. Basically, plyometrics
relies on rapidly stretching and then contracting the muscle, which results
in an increase in force applied on the muscle. Plyometrics focuses
specifically on the fast-twitch muscle fibers, resulting in increased
vertical leap, agility, and power, all things important to hockey.
Many of the plyometric exercises involve jumping, putting tremendous stress
on ligaments and tendons. Most trainers feel an athlete should be able to
squat 2 times their body weight before starting lower-body plyometrics.
Also, plyometrics are to be done in conjunction with weight lifting and
sprint intervals, and a maximum of 2 days a week. They really kill you,
while you're doing them, and the following day or two. I suggest you be in
excellent condition before attempting plyometrics.
As for running causing pain, I don't know what kind of surface you're
running on but suggest you consider changing your running conditions to
involve more off-road conditions. A varied terrain places strain on an
increased area and knees tend to not hurt as much. Conversely, off-road
running comes with it's own set of problems (ankle rolls, increased assault
risk, etc.).
Good luck
Ron

Sorry, i digress...
So now that my season is recently over
my hockey regime consists of pick-up, attending
clinics an hour an a half away at the ice chalet ;)
rereading Crashing the Net, running, not to mention
posting gossipy messages on the list. Anyhow, i picked
up this flyer at the rink advertising "pliometrics,"
it is a hockey specific off-ice conditioning. It said
that the excercises were intense and especially to
strengthen hockey muscles, as opposed to activities
such as running that could add wear and tear and
actually INCREASE the likelihood of an injury. Now,
i've been running 2 miles every 3-4 days to keep in
shape, and this worries me because i've been blessed
with wonderfully hyper mobile knee caps that hurt when
i run and especially after that post about the long
unpronounceble patella condition, i've been wondering
if i should stop running. Does anyone know anything
about "pliometrics" i can't seem to find any info?

Are there any other list-members planning to attend the Ontario Women's
Hockey Association AGM at the end of the month?
We could arrange a get-together, maybe for a meal.

Subject: Report from the Canadian Forces Womens Hockey National Invitational
The inaugural Canadian Forces Womens Hockey National Invitational tournament
was conducted this past week at CFB Borden. It was awesome!! Five teams
representing their respective regions attended the tournament: Atlantic,
Quebec,
Ontario, Prairie and Pacific teams battled it out. Each team was an
all-star
amalgamation from the various bases in each region.
Standings after the round robin were:
1st - Prairie (3-0-1)
2nd - Ontario (3-0-1)
3rd - Pacific (1-2-1)
4th - Quebec (1-2-1)
5th - Atlantic (0-4-0)
Prairie and Ontario came through after the semi-final round and met in a
ferocious
final match-up. Expectations for close game were high as the two teams had
tied
3-3 in the round robin. It wasn't meant to be, however, as Prairie came out
with a
tough checking line that shut the Ontario high-scorers down. Prairie was
victorious
with a decisive score of 3-0.
Final game MVP was Cpl Connie Stapleton from 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Sask.
She had scored the crucial second goal on a breakaway that is considered
to be the TSN turning point in the game. Tournament MVP was MCpl Carole
Lapensee, 8 Wing Trenton, Ont as she was the tournament high-scorer.
Tournament all-star team was as follows:
Goalie - MCpl Joanne Martel, 19 Wing Comox, BC
Def - Pte Nicole Grenier, Garrison Edmonton, AB
Def - Cpl Sandi Bates, CFB Esquimalt, BC
C - MCpl Carole Lapensee, 8 Wing Trenton, Ont
RW - Sgt Charlene Arsenault, BFC Valcartier, PQ
LW - MCpl Sue Maranda, 14 Wing Greenwood, NS
It was truly a great tournament and a historic moment for womens hockey in
the CF. National invitational will continue in the future, and each region
will
be working even harder to develop womens hockey for both beginner and
more advanced players. It is hoped that each region will be able to conduct
a regional competition to allow beginners a focus that they can work towards
while the more experienced players can continue to strive to be chosen for
the all-star teams that proceed to the national invitational. And beyond?
Yours in hockey,

Subject: Plyometrics
Plyometrics is using power to propel your body, essensially. It's an
anaerobic technique, and it would help you with your anaerobic energy
system, which is the one you use to play hockey (short burts of intense
energy). An example of plymetrics would be to place a rope on the
floor, vertical to you. Stand on one side of it, squat, leap up and
land on the other side, and repeat.
As far as quitting running, if running does not bother you, and you have
good shoes, I don't see any reason to stop. Keep in mind that running
is an aerobic activity, excellent for your heart and general fitness and
endurance level. Hockey uses the anaerobic system, so in order to tune
it up, you might want to do some weight training or intervals with your
running. Listen to your body. Patello Femoral Syndrome is a result of
a muscle imbalance, not a result of running properly.
