Double winner of the Gagarin Cup Sergei Konkov during a conversation with , he cited one of the most effective exercises for hockey players.
Konkov played for Dynamo Moscow from 2011 to 2013, where, under coach Vladimir Krikunov, he repeatedly trained with balls. Among current KHL coaches, Andrei Razin regularly uses cylinders to prepare his team.
— Krikunov is associated with cylinders. It is believed that hockey players hate them, but what do you think of such training?
— When training with cylinders, the load is disproportionate to your physical condition. I saw how sick the guys felt, and I myself didn’t always feel good after such a workout. Everyone receives the same burden, you have to endure and show willpower.
But I will say that there is no better exercise than running with balls to develop leg strength in hockey: the biodynamics of the movement are correct. If you choose the load wisely and look at what time of the season you do it, then this is one of the best exercises for hockey players,” Konkov told .
