RUNNING DEMANDS
OF HOCKEY
Field Hockey can be categorised as an intermittent running-based
team sport, characterised by repeated high-intensity actions such
as accelerations, decelerations, and changes in direction at speed.
We can also include shooting and defensive actions in this too, or
any explosive movement that involves the alactic/phosphocreatine
system. These actions are then interspersed with periods of low-
intensity recovery, with the majority (around 80% of the game
spent in low-intensity walking or jogging). (Spencer et al., 2004).
In terms of general demands, hockey players can expect to run 5-
8km per game, with the level of performance and gender affecting
the physical requirements. Ihsan et al. (2021) noted positional
differences between defenders, midfielders and forwards.
Defenders typically accrue more total distance and high-intensity
decelerations, whereas forwards typically perform higher volumes
of high speed running (>15km/h) and perform a greater number of
high-intensity actions. They also noted that total running distance
drops every quarter, with high speed running distances remaining
relatively consistent across the four quarters in international men’s
hockey. Unsurprisingly, there are greater running demands in
international vs national level hockey performance (Jennings et al.,
2012).
With this in mind, there are some key principles that we can follow
to prepare for hockey performance. Firstly, the ability to produce
high-intensity actions is vital, as is the ability to recover between
these efforts.
We can approach this in one of two ways - prepare for the ‘average’
of the game, which in hockey terms means moderate-intensity
work over prolonged periods, or we can prepare for those high-
intensity moments.
If we prepare for the average, the medium, or the midpoint of
anything we aren’t going to be fully prepared for the moments that
matter. We need to be prepared for the high-intensity actions, and
the ability to recover between them.

HIERARCHY OF NEED
WWW.INTEGRATESPORTS.COM
HIERARCHY OF NEED
REPEATABILITY
Enhance the ability of players to repeat high-
intensity actions. Hockey is broadly speaking a
repeat sprint sport, and so this is a much more
specific physical quality. This is the final step in the
hierarchy, underpinned by well-developed aerobic
fitness and max sprint speed. This can be determined
by using a 6 x 30m or 8 x 20m shuttle RSA test.
INTENSITY
Increase maximal physical outputs of players, in order
to increase performance potential. This relates to a
player's maximal sprint speed, both in terms of
acceleration and max velocity. Repeat sprint ability is
strongly correlated with max sprint speed, so this
provides a foundation for RSA, whilst also increasing
our running economy. This can be determined by a
40m sprint, or a flying 10m sprint.
ROBUSTNESS
Maximise game time by minimising injury risk and
maximising availability. It doesn't matter how fast you
are if you're injured, so the first and most important
priority should be ensuring that you are aerobically fit
enough to tolerate the training week and match
demands, enabling you to recover between sprints and
between matches. This can be determined by a time
trial assessment, or by using the 30-15 IFT or Yo-Yo test.
HIERARCHY OF
NEED
What does this look like in practice? We can use
REPEATABILITY
flow charts or decision trees to determine where
you are on the hierarchy. Below is an example
from when I worked with Hockey Wales.
Players must 'earn the right' to progress through
the system before they can move onto the next
stage. This provides a simple programme that
anyone can follow, and ensures that you know
what your priority is at any given time.
HIERARCHY OF
NEED
Here is an adapted, REPEATABILITY
simplified version of this,
based on a 16 pitch lengths assessment and RSA
test (this will be explained in the next section).

ASSESSING FITNESS
WWW.INTEGRATESPORTS.COM
ASSESSING
FITNESS
Maximal aerobic speed (MAS) is the lowest
speed at which our VO2 max occurs and is a
reliable measure of our aerobic fitness.
The simplest means of assessing MAS is a
time trial such as a 16 pitch lengths (1600
yards or 1462m) run completed as fast as
possible.
Run 16 pitch lengths in your best time
possible, being careful to pace it so that you
don't start too fast and burn out before the
end of the test!
CALCULATING MAX AEROBIC SPEED
MAS = DISTANCE (M) ÷ TIME (S) [M/S]
FOR EXAMPLE:
1462 METRES ÷ 330 SECONDS = 4.43 M/S
NORMATIVE
VALUES
Normative values are a means of comparison, enabling
us to determine how our performance stacks up
against other athletes. In the case of MAS testing, we
have scores taken from various research studies and
sports. There isn't an enormous body of research
available in hockey, however we can make inferences
from other similar running based sports.
Source: scienceforsport.com
As you can see certain sports have extremely high
scores, with middle distance and (unsurprisingly)
endurance runners achieving world class levels of
aerobic fitness.
International hockey players have been recorded as
scoring around 4.79m/s which would be a time of
5:05 in the 16 pitch lengths test. This would be
absolutely world-class, however, and a more
realistic MAS score of 4.0-4.4m/s (5:30-6:00 in the 16
pitch lengths) is a very good ballpark to aim for
depending on your age and fitness levels.
REPEAT SPRINT
ABILITY (RSA)
Repeat sprint ability is defined as a sequence of a
minimum of 3 sprints with an average rest of <21 s
between sprints. This occurs frequently in Field Hockey
owing to the nature of the sport, with forwards
typically required to perform a higher relative workload
of sprint distance when compared with other positions.
This quality is highly important in a game like Field
Hockey where the ability to accelerate and decelerate
repeatedly at high intensity is a key physical
determinant. By gaining insight into an athlete’s repeat
sprint ability profile, we can provide specific
interventions to target this quality. However, it is
advisable to consider the athlete’s overall running
profile including maximal linear sprint speed, max
aerobic speed (MAS), critical speed and change of
direction ability too to further develop performance
impacting insights.
A 6 x 30m sprint test is a reliable measure of repeat
sprint ability, whereby athletes sprint 30m on a rolling
clock every 25-30s. Once the first effort has been
completed, the athlete has the remaining time on the
rolling clock to recover before completing the next
effort.
Time per effort (s), total time (s), mean time (s) and
percentage decrement (%) are typically taken as
metrics to provide insight into an athlete’s sprint
profile. Total time (s) is a reliable measure of repeat
sprint ability (Bishop et al., 2003).
REPEAT SPRINT
ABILITY (RSA)
There are two options for assessing RSA. We can
either use a 6 x 30m linear sprint or alternatively an 8
x 20m shuttle sprint. For the purpose of this example,
I am going to use the 8 x 20m shuttle, as the change
of direction makes it a more relevant test. This is
particularly the case if we video record the athlete
doing this, and watch back for kinematic analysis
(technique).
Format:
You will need a set of timing gates to ensure the
accuracy of this test, but you could alternatively record
on an iPhone and pause the video at the time you cross
the line on each, to take a note of the time achieved (this
is far less accurate).
On a rolling 30 second clock, sprint out to 20m before
turning and sprinting back to the start line.
You have the remainder of the 30 seconds for recovery
e.g. if it takes 7 seconds, you have 23 seconds rest before
the next effort.
Complete 8 reps in succession, recording your sprint time
on each.
Record total time (all 8 sprints added up), average time
per sprint, and fastest sprint time.
REPEAT SPRINT
ABILITY (RSA)
Based on the decision tree
outlined in the previous section,
and in line with the hierarchy of
need philosophy, we can then
categorise the RSA profile into
one of four.
This helps us to know which
conditioning sessions should be
prioritised for the individual
based on their needs.
Profile 1: fast initial time, fast total time
This athlete needs to focus on game-specific sprint
patterns now (e.g. curved runs as a forward)
Profile 2: fast initial time, slow total time
This athlete is likely struggling to tolerate the anaerobic
component of this test, so should prioritise buffering
intervals such as 1 minute on, 30 seconds off
Profile 3: slow initial time, fast total time
This athlete can sustain their speed well, but the speed
itself just isn't very fast! They need to focus on getting
faster.
Profile 4: slow initial time, slow total time
This athlete again just needs to get quicker. They cna't
sprint fast enough fresh, let alone over repeated bouts.

FAST YOU ARE, IF YOU'RE
INJURED!

INDIVIDUALISING YOUR
TRAINING
WWW.INTEGRATESPORTS.COM
INDIVIDUALISING
YOUR TRAINING
Now that we've looked at the importance of decision
making and assessment for conditioning prescription, we
can also now look to individualise training in more detail.
There are a few ways that we can individualise training.
These include by session type, interval time or distance,
and by volume or intensity.
For example, if you've looked through the decision tree
and have noticed that you're in the red zone for your
aerobic fitness, then longer aerobic intervals are going to
be your focus as this will help you to improve your score,
hopefully putting you into the orange zone.
There are a few systems in-built into this programme
which enable you to individualise your training based off a
centralised model. This is the beauty of this approach, as it
allows you the autonomy to take control of your own
programme, using guidelines and systems to inform the
session content.
If you need to know which session type to do, use the
decision trees.
If you need to know which specific session to do within
that category, well this is up to you! You have a choice
here on which exact one to pick.
If you aren't sure which volume to pick from, then base
this on your freshness and time availability. Feeling good?
Do more! Feeling tired? Ease back a bit.
Lastly, if you need to know which distance to pick, you
can use the running calculator to help you here, based on
your 16 pitch lengths time. Winning!
INDIVIDUALISING
YOUR TRAINING
Step 1 - complete the 16 pitch lengths
test, record your time and MAS score
Step 2 - use the decision tree to
determine which session types you
should be doing
Step 3 - decide which exact session
from that session type you want to do
Step 4 - based on your freshness and
time available, decide how much
(volume to complete)
Step 5 - use the running conditioning
calculator to determine which
distance you should be aiming for

REPEAT SPRINT INTERVALS
RSA intervals are super high-intensity intervals that are
capable of achieving higher outputs than you will
experience during a match. This is why they should only be
completed once a solid base of conditioning has been
achieved first.
They are performed at above 130% MAS (max sprint speed).
OPTION 1 - 5 seconds on, 25 seconds off
Time per rep - 5 seconds
Rest per rep - 25 seconds
Rest per set - 5 minutes
Running speed - Max speed
Target distance - refer to calculator
Volume - 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps
Sprint maximally for 5 seconds, aiming
to achieve the target distance, before
resting for 25 seconds. Repeat for up to 8
reps, before resting for 5 minutes.
Repeat 1 or 2 more sets.
OPTION 2 - 20m shuttle sprints
Distance per rep - 20m shuttle (40m
total)
Rest per rep - 30 seconds
Rest per set - 5 minutes
Running speed - Max speed
Target time - best effort
Volume - 2 to 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps
Sprint maximally out and back over 20m,
before resting for 30 seconds. Repeat for
up to 8 reps, before resting for 5 minutes.
Repeat 1 or 2 more sets.
TEMPO INTERVALS
This method of interval training is designed to complement
a speed focus. This is because they are high quality, with
plenty of rest so that although you are running fast it is not
overly intensive at the cost of technique and the ability to
recover.
If speed is your focus, then complement this with some
tempo intervals as below.
Pitch length tempo intervals
Distance per rep - 91.4m (100 yards)
Rest per rep - 60 seconds
Rest per set - 3 minutes
Running speed - 70% best effort
Target time - see below
Volume - 3 sets of 4 to 8 reps
Run a pitch length at 70% of your best
effort speed (see below for guidelines).
Rest 60 seconds once completed,
completing up to 8 reps in one set. Rest
3 minutes between sets and complete 1
or 2 more sets in total.

MAX SPEED EFFORTS
Max speed work should be completed as fast as possible, as
fresh as possible to ensure high quality. If you don't rest
enough between efforts this will turn into a conditioning
session which is not the adaptations that we are after.
This is high quality speed work to get you faster.
OPTION 1 - rolling 20m sprints
Distance per rep - 20m
Rest per rep - 2 minutes
Running speed - Max speed
Target time - best effort
Volume - 6 to 8 reps
From a rolling start (over 10-20m), sprint
maximally over a 20m area. Try to relax
and hit your absolute top speed, before
resting for 2 minutes. Complete up to 8
reps.
OPTION 2 - curved sprints
Distance per rep - 1 curve of the D
Rest per rep - 2 minutes
Running speed - Max speed
Target time - best effort
Volume - 6 to 8 reps
Sprint maximally around the arc of a D,
sprinting at your top speed possible. This
is to develop the ability to run on an
angle which often occurs during both
attack and defence. Rest 2 minutes
between reps and complete up to 8 reps.
CONDITIONING CALCULATOR
In order to determine the correct distances to aim
for, here is a simple calculator which gives you the
target times and distances to aim for, based on the
sessions contained within the training programme.
Start by finding your 16 pitch lengths time on the
left hand side, and then move across the columns
until you find the right column for the session that
you want to complete.
The distance (or time) provided is the target for
each individual rep of that session.
EXAMPLE
Player A runs a 16 pitch lengths time of 6:05, and
therefore has a MAS score of 4.0 m/s, so needs to
prioritise short aerobic intervals.
They are going to complete 2 aerobic conditioning
sessions per week, each lasting around 20-25
minutes.
The athlete decides to do the following sessions:
15 seconds on, 15 seconds off
30 seconds on, 15 seconds off
Each week they fluctuate between moderate and
high volume, based on their freshness and time
available.
For the 15:15 session, their target distance is 62m.
For 30:15 session, their target distance is 114m.
They re-assess their aerobic fitness 6 week later
and it is now 5:50, which puts them into the orange
zone. They re-evaluate and are now ready to do the
RSA test after which they'll know what to focus on
next.
