HDTS Skating Analysis
Every stride measured. Every start explained
HDTS Skating Analysis records a player on the Hockey Skating Treadmill with two cameras, tracks the body frame by frame and grades each key position of the stride and of the sprint start in five bands. This page explains what it measures, what a real report looks like and how coaches work with it.

What it is
One system, two modules
The analysis runs in the Fusion Skating Zone: the player skates on the HST treadmill, two high-speed cameras record from the front and from the side, and the HDTS engine grades each position against its optimal range. No manual tagging, no frame counting by the coach.
01 · Transactional skating
Skating
The stride at a steady speed. The engine measures the push-off leg, the glide leg, the blade and the upper body over ten skating cycles and grades eleven positions.
- Side camera: leg extension, inner knee angle, ankle extension, efficiency of ten cycles
- Front camera: leg stability, skate position, centre of mass, arm movement
- Head direction, seen from the side
02 · The sprint start
Acceleration
The first strides and the build-up of speed. The engine evaluates how the start is created: push-off frequency, the forward shift of the centre of mass, the hip-to-ankle line at push-off and knee stability under load.
- Push-off frequency in each phase of the acceleration
- Centre-of-mass shift: forward, not upward
- Hip-to-ankle alignment and knee stability, left and right
How it works
From one run to a report the coach can act on
Four steps, the same for every player and every session.
01
Record
The player skates at a set speed and slope. Two cameras record the run; the recording app uploads it to the cloud and retries on its own if the connection drops.
02
Analyse
The engine tracks key points of the body frame by frame and evaluates each rule: angles, distances, timing, left and right side.
03
Report
Every position gets a value, a band and a video clip of the moment it was graded. A report opens from a link without a login, so players and parents can see it too.
04
Train
Instructor holds 250+ drills on the treadmill; the coach picks the ones that address the positions marked Area for development. Live Delay shows the player the correction seconds later.
Key positions
What the engine looks at
Of the 21 rules, here are ten a buyer can read without a coach: six from the Skating module, four from Acceleration. The optimal ranges themselves stay in the app.
Skating · 6
Skating module
Measured at a steady speed over ten skating cycles.
- 01Side camera
Leg extension
- We observe
- How fully the push-off leg straightens, the direction of the push and the body position at the end of the stride.
- Goal
- A full extension turns the whole leg into propulsion instead of leaving power in the knee.
02Side cameraInner knee angle
- We observe
- The angle at the knee of the glide leg while the other leg pushes.
- Goal
- A deeper knee bend lengthens the push and keeps the centre of mass low.
Acceleration · 4
Acceleration module
Measured during the first strides of a start.

A real report
One athlete, both modules, one afternoon
Two real HDTS Skating Analysis reports of the same athlete from a partner centre, recorded on the same day: a Skating run and an Acceleration run. Values and bands are the engine's own. Optimal ranges are not shown.

Acceleration run
Sep 15, 2026 · 16 km/h · slope -2°
Real HDTS Skating Analysis reports from a partner centre (Duluth, MN, August and September 2026), anonymised with the centre's consent. The stills on this page come from HDTS demo footage and from the same centre and show other athletes than the values. Training data, not medical advice.
Comparison
Progress you can point at
The app compares two runs of one athlete rule by rule, or two athletes side by side. Here are both, with real data.
Same athlete, five weeks apart
Athlete C, Skating module, both runs at the same speed and slope. Every change is shown in the direction it went.

From measurement to training
The report is the start, not the result
Every Area for development in a report maps to work on the treadmill.
01
Instructor
250+ video drills and ready-made training plans on the treadmill. The coach picks drills for the positions the report flagged.
02
Live Delay
Delayed video playback beside the treadmill: the player sees the repetition seconds after skating it and feels the correction.
03
Re-test
The next analysis lands in the same trend view, so progress is a number the coach can show, not an impression.
