| Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test |
 |
 The Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test consists of 5-18 second intervals of running interspersed by regular short rest periods (5 seconds). The test evaluates an individual's ability to repeatedly perform intervals over a prolonged period of time. The test is particularly useful for an athlete who performs interval sports, such as tennis, team handball, basketball and soccer. The test lasts for between 5 and 20 minutes.
If a participant would like to be tested frequently or is unable to perform to exhaustion, the Yo-Yo endurance test can be stopped after 5 minutes and heart rate determined. The lower the heart rate the better the physical capacity. Comments (2)
