  1. Tommi Paananen Peripheral exercise guide for hockey coaches

  2. The subject • Peripheral exercise guidebook for ice hockey junior coaches in D, E and F-juniors. • Research theory of the development of a youth hockey players’ body and point out the needs for each age group and individual. • The theory will be supported by research in juniors of Juniori-KalPa and discussion with TommiRouvali and IiroSutinen, who are the sensitivity coaches of Juniori-KalPa.

  3. Why the subject? • The author will learn more about the needs of a hockey player during the different phases of minor hockey and get a useful tool for future coaching. • The author has knowledge of strength and conditioning, but applying the information into specific age groups accordingly has to be researched from theory and the coaches. • Developing the guide further improves the ability to understand the needs for a hockey player and develop knowledge for a possible future as strength and conditioning coach in hockey.

  4. Juniori-KalPa • Juniori-KalPa is an individual organization working in cooperation with KalPa Hockey Oy that plays in the Finnish SM-League. • Juniori-KalPa was founded in 1989 and has approximately 730 juniors playing competitive hockey through G to A-juniors. • Contact persons are TommiRouvali and IiroSutinen, both are sensitivity coaches in the organization. • Kari Partanen is the teacher supervisor from KUAS and has offered the possibility of cross-sectional research in Vuokatti.

  5. Why Juniori-KalPa offered this subject? • Juniori-KalPa lacks proper material according to the sensitivity period of a junior. • Appropriate tests are to be conducted during my practical training next spring to support the theory from literature on how to implement proper exercises for each age group.

  6. Purpose and aims • Provide a guidebook for junior coaches as a reference for everyday planning and applying exercises. • Objective for the author is to learn how the sensitive periods differ according to age and how to adjust the training to maximize the effect of each exercise. • Also to have a reference for future coaching and learn more of the strength and conditioning in the process. S&C coaching is an option for my working life in the future. • For Juniori-KalPa there is a need for a guidebook in everyday use and the support from the two sensitivity coaches is present. Every exercise needs to develop the junior. • KUAS supports the process of the authors’ learning with resources such as the teacher supervisor.

  7. Research problems • What are the phases of development of a junior through the ages of 8 to 14? • Do quantitative research on the peripheral exercises for the juniors and conclude how well the theory can be applied. • Final product for Juniori-KalPa: Create a guidebook for the junior coaches based on the theory from literature, research from the juniors and knowledge from the sensitivity coaches.

  8. Schedule • Gather the theory necessary in Finnish and English before the second practical training (end of February) • Plan how to analyze the test results with Iiro and Tommi before the tests begin • Conduct the tests during the spring and analyze the results during practical training • Hand in the final product during the summer • Complete the writing of the thesis before the end of October
