Summary/Abstract: The aim of the case study is to analyse the effects of a 10-week fitness Function Australian Training (FAT) off- ice. The research was conducted with 23 professional ice hockey players (n = 23], members of the ice hockey league club HC Mountfield České Budějovice. The FAT method strives to complement existing training methods of selected current knowledge and approaches to ice hockey fitness training. The authors express a positive opinion on this method and describe its advantages especially in relation to reducing muscle imbalances and effect on muscle strength, dynamics and persistence of participating probands. The FAT was primarily focused on explosive strength and power endurance of main body segments with additional exercises to stimulate anaerobic and aerobic performance. The probands underwent a spiroergometric testing on the Quasar running ergometer, followed by measurement of body composition using BIA 2000 and another testing on the bioimpedance device Tanita in order to verify the contribution of FAT. The input and output testing proceeded under laboratory constant conditions on the premises of the UK FTVS in Prague.
