Slideboard Conditioning
Slideboard conditioning repeats lateral pushes for groin endurance and skating-specific conditioning—short efforts on fresh legs with strict form.
Slideboard conditioning mimics lateral skating on a low-friction board—short repeated pushes with active recovery in the center. It trains groin endurance, hip abductors, and repeat lateral power with less impact than full sprint intervals.
Start with twenty- to thirty-second efforts and full posture; sloppy slides irritate adductors. Use on fresh legs, not the day after heavy Copenhagen eccentrics.
Common questions
-
How long should slideboard intervals be for hockey?
Twenty to forty seconds of hard lateral push with equal or longer easy recovery is a common start. Stop the set when hip drop or knee collapse appears.
