XONE Hockey Performance Assessment

Skate Faster. Hit Smarter. Stay Stronger.

At XONE Performance, we know hockey isn’t just a game—it’s a collision of speed, power, and resilience. The XONE Hockey Performance Assessment delivers a hockey-specific diagnostic analysis using elite technology and expert interpretation. From juniors to professional players, our assessments uncover movement inefficiencies, strength imbalances, and reaction speed gaps—giving you the precision tools to elevate your performance, reduce injury risk, and dominate every shift.

Key Components of the Hockey Assessment

Our protocol is built around the unique physical and technical demands of the ice:

Pre-Assessment Consultation with a Hockey-Specialized Kinesiologist
Discuss your position (forward, defense, goalie), playing style, injury history, and goals to customize the assessment to your competitive path.
Anthropometric Measurements
Assess body proportions, torso-to-leg ratio, and lean mass distribution to optimize skating biomechanics, balance, and power generation.
Pulmonary Function Testing (Spirobank)
Evaluate respiratory capacity to sustain high-intensity shifts, rapid recoveries, and overtime endurance.
DARI Motion 3D Biomechanical Analysis
Analyze skating stride mechanics, crossover efficiency, deceleration patterns, shooting kinematics, and body-checking stability.
Force Deck Jump and Start Analysis
Quantify lower-body power, first-step explosiveness, and landing mechanics critical for sprinting off the draw and board battles.

Force Frame Isometric Strength Testing
Evaluate groin/adductor strength (essential for skating drive and stability), shoulder stability (shooting, checking), and rotational core strength.
Senaptec Sensory Station Testing
Assess reaction time, depth perception, and peripheral awareness—critical for puck tracking, pass reading, and collision avoidance.
Expert Data Review
Complete analysis by XONE specialists translating all metrics into tactical, position-specific recommendations.
Post-Assessment Consultation
A one-on-one debrief connecting your results to targeted performance upgrades based on your role (sniper, playmaker, shutdown defender, or goaltender).

Optional Add-Ons

VO₂ Max Testing
Optimize aerobic and anaerobic conditioning for full-game endurance and tournament recovery cycles.
DEXA Body Composition Scan
Monitor lean mass, bone density, and mass distribution critical for durability and skating efficiency.
Grip Strength (Jamar Dynamometer)
Assess hand and wrist strength is important for stick control, faceoffs, and physical play.
Auditory Reaction Testing
Measure on-ice communication responsiveness under noisy, dynamic conditions.

From Data to On-Ice Performance

XONE translates your diagnostics into tactical, actionable improvements:

Explosive Skating Development:
DARI and Force Deck data reveal stride asymmetries, push-off inefficiencies, and acceleration gaps—informing skating drills for faster first steps and breakaway speed.

Injury Risk Profiling and Prevention
Force Frame strength imbalances predict hip, groin, and shoulder injury risk, allowing for proactive strengthening.
Tactical Cognitive Training
Senaptec vision and reaction testing refine split-second decision-making: puck tracking, passing lanes, shot selection.
Durability and Recovery Optimization
VO₂ Max and pulmonary insights ensure you’re not just starting strong—you’re finishing stronger deep into the third period and beyond.

Position-Specific Power Training:
- Forwards
  Rotational core drills based on shooting biomechanics for harder, quicker releases.
- Defensemen
  Deceleration and reverse pivot force analysis to sharpen agility under pressure.
- Goalies
  Lateral explosiveness and depth perception training for sharper cross-crease movement.
