HR max or the maximum heart rate can be defined as the maximum number of beats per minute that our heart can possibly reach. One can easily calculate the maximum HR by subtracting the age with 220. For example, if your age is 24, subtract 24 from 220, that will be 196. This is your maximum heart rate.
Sprinting is running over a specific short distance at the highest speed of the body in a limited time period. Sprinting with proper sprinting variation can improve the body's overall force production ability.
The beep test involves skating back and forth for a distance of 45m while following the speed that has been fixed by an audible signal. The player has to hold a hockey stick with one hand while doing the same.
