What We Test
The Hockey Testing Battery

Every EPP hockey assessment covers these five tests using Photon Sports timing gates, high-speed cameras, and force-platform analysis. Results delivered as a full written report within 48 hours.

1
Sprint profiling (30m)
Hockey attacking and defensive transitions demand explosive acceleration. 30m sprint with 10m and 20m splits.
2
5-0-5 bilateral agility
Hockey players cut and change direction constantly — often in a crouched position. Bilateral asymmetry directly impacts defensive recovery.
3
Force-velocity profile
Hockey players frequently present as velocity-deficient — strong technically but lacking speed-specific training to match pace.
4
Repeated sprint assessment
High-intensity sprint bouts throughout a 35-minute half. Repeated sprint ability is a key fitness marker for midfielders.
5
Countermovement jump
Explosive lower-body power for tackling, drag-flick power, and aerial challenges.
What the Data Shows
Why This Matters for Hockey

Hockey is one of the sports where we most consistently find a gap between technical ability and physical capacity. Players who are technically skilled often have significantly undertrained sprint and agility profiles. A 12-week targeted development block consistently produces meaningful measurable improvements.

Do you test indoor and outdoor hockey players?
Yes — both. Testing protocols are identical. Indoor hockey emphasises first-step acceleration even more; we note this in interpretation.

Yes. Squad Analyser from £20 per athlete. We work with clubs across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
