The Yo-Yo Intermittent Test evaluates one’s stamina using a profile similar to sports like soccer, basketball and other similar “stop-and-go” vigorous sports.
This app will allow you to conduct the following:
* The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test, Level 1 and Level 2
* The Yo-Yo Intermittent Endurance Test, Level 1 and Level 2
as defined by Jens Bangsbo of Copenhagen University (December 1994)
It will
– prompt you with voice cues or ringtones that you select
– display seconds to shuttle halfway point
– display seconds to next speed level
– display seconds during recovery
– display distance covered (incl. shuttles) and time elapsed
When you are done, the app will provide you with
– the Level reached
– total distance run
Note: A rough estimate of VO2Max will be provided for Recovery Level 1 only, provided at least 1000m (level 15.6) has been run.
This app will NOT allow you to directly save your results (the Pro version will); you could take a screenshot (power + lower volume buttons simultaneously).
