Hockey players are doing everything that other athletes do and more, but we're doing it on ice. We've got to be able to avoid body contact like basketball and football players, and we've got to be able to handle this puck with our sticks?while we're moving on eight-inch steel blades. Hockey uses every single muscle in the body, without exception. |
Less rest time can sometimes increase the amount of testosterone your body is producing. |
