Circuit training is specific to hockey players as it enhances the key physical attributes required for the sport, such as strength, endurance, agility, and power. It incorporates exercises that mimic the repetitive and explosive movements in hockey, improving cardiovascular fitness while simultaneously building muscle. This training method also allows players to develop sport-specific skills, such as balance and coordination, while minimizing the risk of injury. Overall, circuit training effectively prepares hockey players for the demands of their sport.
