Since Dejana Kaptina doesn't focus much on the physical elements of play - rather, she relies on being smart positionally and active with her stick while keeping penalties to a minimum - she moreso tends to focus on lower body workouts during the offseason. This makes her burst of speed a bit more potent by giving her more push, and making it harder for bigger, more physical, but slower defenders to keep up with her. She doesn't neglect the upper body per se, since it's still important to be able to at least outmuscle some players if push comes to shove (no pun intended), but her priority is making sure that her feet are as quick as her mind and her hands. Stamina work is also very important to her, especially with the amount of tiring penalty kill minutes she plays (the most in the J last year by quite some distance.)
