What is ENERGY RATIO?Updated 6 hours ago

What is Measured:

  • Energy Ratio tells you what percentage of time a player was fully skating (actively striding) relative to the time they were on the ice. For example:
    • If total Active Time was 20 minutes and a player was actively striding for 10 minutes, the Energy Ratio would be 50%. 
  • Active Time is total skating activity detected by the Core Sensor. It includes high effort skating, coasting, gliding, shuffling, and casual skating.
  • Stride Time is exclusively true high effort skating in a full out skating interval.

Energy Ratios will vary by player and position and by session type: 

Forwards

  • 55% - 72% for games.
  • 65% - 85% in practice.

Defense

  • 45% - 65% for games.
  • 55% - 85% in practice.
  • higher energy ratio percentage means players were skating more. 
  • lower energy ratio percentage means players were spending less time fully skating (could indicate a high IQ player being efficient with their output or a casual, lazy effort by a player).
    • You can track ER% on a session level, or by each shift and drill run.
