The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level 1 is one of the most common field tests in football. It’s 20 m shuttles with 10 seconds of active rest between them, getting faster each level.

What it measures:

• Your ability to repeat high-intensity running and recover between efforts
• It reflects match demands better than a maximal oxygen uptake test
• Top-level male professionals mostly score above 2,000 m; amateur scores are lower

Protocol and norms: Yo-Yo IR1 test.

Does your team test with the Yo-Yo? What did you get?

When repeating the test, keep things the same: surface, shoes, similar weather and similar fatigue beforehand. Results can differ even between grass and artificial turf.
