Vertical and standing long jump indicate that. This is must harder to train for than strength and cardio. Wingspan is another important measurement and it's completely god given.
The VO2 max test is by far the most important ---It shows how fit a player is and by extrapolation how hard he is willing to work. Sven Baertschi won this test in his combine.

Monahan did well in this.

Barkov and Nichushkin did not show up in the top of any categories other than Nichuskin's wing span. Lindholm was strong in the Push and pull strength. you would expect that these guys would be stronger as they were playing against Men.
