Making Technique Development Effective on Skating Treadmills
Getting time on the ice is a key component to perfecting technique and in-game performance, but with today’s level of competition, skating treadmill workouts offer valuable additional opportunities to separate oneself. However, for instructors, ensuring that athletes on skating treadmills are working toward an ideal on-ice stride is a challening matter of detailed communication. The Stride Matrix helps with this.
The Stride Matrix projects a laser pattern onto the treadmill providing a visual template for the stride.
Hockey treadmills have historically led to an overly rearward stride push.
The wide-stride settings of the Stride Matrix guides players to proper stride width.
With the Stride Matrix, communicating proper push direction is easy. Instructors can “set it and forget it” by simply letting players know how to use the projected laser lines.
