| Sumario: | The aim of this investigation was to quantify the acute effects of the execution of the physical performance tests within the ice hockey-specific complex test (IHCT) on shooting performance. Thirty-four professional male ice hockey players with an average of 6.9 years of playing experience were recruited. The slap shot (SS) was found to accelerate the puck with a higher speed and greater precision. After the IHCT, the maximum puck speed of successful goal shots decreased considerably (<i>p</i> < 0.001, <i>d</i> > 1.5). The puck speed percentage decrement after the IHCT did not differ between the SS (6.1, SD = 4.4, −5.5–17.9) and the wrist shot (WS, 6.0, SD = 3.5, −0.9–12.2, <i>p</i> = 0.86, <i>d</i> = 0.03). The magnitude of puck speed reduction in the WS was inversely related to the functional heart rate reserve (<i>r</i> = −0.44, <i>p</i> = 0.02) and the blood lactate elimination rate (<i>r</i> = −0.43, <i>p</i> < 0.02). The linear and COD speed tests on-ice resulted in a higher amount of successful goal shots. These findings highlight the interaction of intense on-ice testing and goal-shooting performance. |
