Equipment

Rules :The rules of hockey are very similar to the rules of football except that players must use sticks instead of their feet to play the ball. There are 11 players on a team made up of a Goalkeeper, Defenders, Midfielders and Attackers. The only player on the field who is allowed to use their feet and hands as well as their stick is the goalkeeper.

Physical Condition: We examined the energy expenditure in ice-hockey players under conditions of a model training match. Other findings (the fat percentage increment) can be explained by a less intensive training, unbalance between performance and nutrition.
