Players maintain a crouched position while dribbling and passing, which heavily engages the lower back, core, and legs. The sport combines aerobic endurance from continuous movement with anaerobic bursts during sprints and defensive plays. Field hockey develops exceptional cardiovascular fitness, agility, and hand-eye coordination.
