The bike is usually resolved for the wingate test, which measures your anaerobic energy system and how well you perform short, all-out sprint tasks (obviously very relevant for hockey).
VO2max is usually done with a treadmill (aerobic capacity).
Strength 1RM or 1RM predictive testing is done with bench press and squat. There's also usually a max chin up test.
