In the context of hockey players' performance and growth, the relationship between economic status and physical fitness is an important factor to take into account. This study looks at how economic status affects hockey performance and physical fitness levels. Access to the necessary training facilities, equipment, nutrition, and professional coaching for maximizing physical fitness and performance can be impacted by financial resources. The study investigates the connection between economic status and various aspects of physical fitness, such as muscular strength, flexibility, speed, and agility, as well as cardiovascular endurance. Additionally, it investigates how these fitness components influence player development and on-ice performance. The study examines the connection between economic resources and physical conditioning using both quantitative and qualitative data. According to the findings, players from more affluent families typically have better access to resources that improve physical fitness, which in turn leads to improved performance outcomes. On the other hand, players who lack access to financial resources may encounter obstacles that impede their physical growth and, as a result, their performance. The findings emphasize the significance of targeted interventions to support hockey players from underprivileged backgrounds and guarantee equitable physical development opportunities. Coaches, policymakers, and sports organizations looking to reduce inequality and promote inclusive growth in the sport will benefit from this study's insightful findings.
