다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to improve ice hockey players’ athletic performance. Ice-hockey players are always taught to backcheck as fast and hard as possible without detailed tactical instructions. But they can never beat their opponent just by working hard. During the games, energy consumption should be reduced as much as possible and all players on the ice should cooperate with each other to carry out a backcheck. The backcheck occurs most frequently during ice-hockey games. Therefore, the coaches should conduct training including various methods and tactics for backcheck. In addition, ice-hockey coaches should use video clips taken before and after training and games to analyze and prepare so that their strengths can be maintained and their weaknesses can be improved so that the players' athletic performance can be improved. In a sport with a fast game tempo, such as ice-hockey, step-by-step analysis and preparation are more necessary. Therefore, coaches should make sure the players understand the basic concepts such as the basic tactical position in the attack area, the tactical position when changing from attack to defense, and the small box in the defensive zone when backchecking, as presented in this study, and Chasing the Carrier, Locking the Wide Lane, Splitting the Defensemen, tactical options of Backcheck, and finding the Sweet Spot, Cooperation, Key Player, etc. for efficient Backcheck 3 items are applied during repeated practice and games and performed using video clips. When feedback is given after analysis, the athletic performance of the players can be improved.
