![]() ![]() The current battery of tests are listed below (as of 2018). In total the testing component of the combine lasts about an hour and a half for each player. The bench press test was once a maximum test performed at 70-80% of body weight in time with the metronome at a rate of 25 per minute, but was changed to a weight 50% of body weight, and performed as quickly as possible for three reps, with maximum power measured. The BodPod is now used for body composition testing and the Y-balance test for assessing balance. In the vertical jump, instead of using the VertecĀ® Apparatus, the jump height will be measured with a Kistler Force plate, also allowing the measurement of jump forces. The fitness testing assessments were moved into an arena offering an increased viewing area, better sight lines and live result monitors, allowing for the testing to be captured on video. ![]() In 2015, a new format and testing was implemented as a result of a combine review. In 2014 there were four body composition tests and 11 individual fitness tests. In 2014, overhand pull-ups, single leg squats (both legs) and pro agility tests replaced push-ups, the push-pull station and the seated medicine ball throw. In 2013 a 'Functional Movement Screen' was introduced. Also grip strength fatigue and wingspan were also first measured. In 2007, new tests were added: the hexagon test for agility, balance test and a 'standing squat' test (vertical jump with a pause). No player is allowed to test until clearing the medical screening. In 2015, VO 2max test was moved to be held on the Friday, along with the body composition and grip strength tests, and the medical examinations held on Thursday. Interviews were conducted during a five-day period the functional movement screening was held on Thursday, medical examinations on Friday and the fitness testing on Saturday. In 2014 the combine followed the following format. Results from previous combines are listed on the NHL Scouting Combine Results page.
