“…Traditionally, biomechanical performance analysis of ice hockey skating is either done in a laboratory environment using skating treadmills (Upjohn et al., 2008) and synthetic ice surfaces (Stidwill, Pearsall, & Turcotte, 2010) or with extensive measurement equipment on an ice rink (Buckeridge, LeVangie, Stetter, Nigg, & Nigg, 2015; Renaud et al., 2017). These approaches are typically highly standardized and allow a precise and unobtrusive measurement of multiple performance variables, which yield insight to human movements and techniques (Schmidt, Wille, Rheinländer, Wehn, & Jaitner, 2017). The biomechanical data gained, deliver useful information to improve training and to achieve performance enhancement (Buckeridge et al., 2015; Renaud et al., 2017).…”
