Predicting On-Ice Skating Using Laboratory- and Field-Based Assessments in College Ice Hockey Players
Purpose:
To determine the predictability of common laboratory/field and novel laboratory tests for skating characteristics in Canadian college ice hockey players.
Methods:
A total of 18 male hockey players from the university's varsity hockey team age 20-25 y (height 180.7 [6.4] cm, weight 87.1 [6.7] kg, and body fat 16.2% [4.0%]) completed common laboratory-/field-based testing (ie, standing long jump, vertical jump, off-ice proagility, V˙O2max, Wingate), novel laboratory-based testing (ie, Biodex dynamometer, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan), and on-ice testing (ie, 30-m forward sprint, 30-m backward sprint, on-ice proagility).
Results:
Pearson correlations and stepwise regression revealed relationships between on-ice forward sprint and 4 off-ice tests (Wingate relative peak power [r = -.62, P < .01], standing long jump [r = -.45, P < .05], off-ice proagility left [r = .51, P < .05], and vertical jump impulse [r = .60, P < .01]). On-ice proagility left was correlated with off-ice proagility left (r = .47, P < .05), Wingate relative peak power (r = -.55, P < .01), and vertical jump impulse (r = -.53, P < .05). The 30-m backward skating test and the on-ice proagility right were not correlated with any off-ice test.
Conclusion:
Commonly used laboratory/field tests are effective in predicting 2 important primary abilities in ice hockey.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
