Single Push Ice House Test (Only in Calgary)

The single push test is an important test because it is the most skeleton specific. This is the test we use for rankings and selection. In the test the athlete pushes a sled in the Ice House from the zero position.

30m Sprint

Athlete sprints from a 2-point standing start. There is a one meter acceleration line behind the start. The athlete must have one foot on either side of the 1m line. The start tripods are set at their lowest position. All the rest at the highest position. One of the most important tests we do, and gives a great indication of the athlete’s ability to accelerate over a short distance.

Flying 30m Sprint (45m)

Athlete sprints at their top speed through a 30m distance. This is usually done in conjunction with the standing 30m sprint, in order to ensure athletes are hitting the timing eye at there top speed.

20m Sled Pull (15kg)

The athletes will pull a 15kg weight through a 15m accelration zone then timing will begin for another 20m. This is a great test for power and speed.

5 x double leg bound
