EAT ME
As a masters athlete, juggling back-to-back fixtures over a weekend or longer demands more than grit—it hinges on smart nutrition that primes your engine, sustains intensity and accelerates recovery. Here, we share the latest science and practical menus for each phase—pre-game, in-game and post-game—with a special eye on catabolite clearance (especially cortisol), longevity and tournament play.
MOVE it or LOSE it
As we age, declines in joint range, muscle–tendon compliance and neural reflexes blunt our ability to accelerate, decelerate and change direction on ice or turf (Evans, 2022). Yet targeted mobility training—melding Western sports-science protocols with Eastern movement arts—can restore functional range of motion, refine biomechanics and sharpen agility well into our 40s, 50s and beyond.
SLOW DOWN to improve
Hockey players need to change running pace throughout a game. Their ability to accelerate, decelerate, and maintain speed plays a significant role in performance. To improve your ability to change pace requires an understanding of both biomechanical and physiological adaptations. Learn more..
