Objective of the study was to test by experiment benefits of the National Training Program in application to 6-8 year-old beginner ice-hockey players in the mass ice-hockey system. Sampled for the experiment were the 6-8 year-old beginner ice-hockey players (n=42) qualified for the sport-and-health group and split up into Experimental (EG, n=20) and Reference (RG, n=22) Groups. The RG was trained as required by the standard beginner ice-hockey training curricula; and the EG was trained as required by the National Training Program in application to ice hockey. Progress of the sample was rated by a set fitness tests, competitive success rates and expert valuations. The tests were compliant with the Federal Sport Training Standards for ice hockey and the relevant all-round/ special physical fitness standards for qualification to the beginner sport groups. The pre- versus post-experimental progress of the sample was tested, among other things, by the test on/off-ice matches to rate benefits of the National Training Program in application to junior ice hockey; plus expert valuations of the test exercises during the training sessions. The training model was found beneficial as verified by the EG versus RG meaningful (р<0.05) progress in the pre- versus post-experimental tests in the physical fitness rates, technical skill valuations and competitive success rates.
