Evolutis.ie: YO-YO Intermittent Recovery Test (Level 1)

Similar to the bleep test, the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test is a standardised fitness test you can do to test your fitness levels. It combines short intensive runs with brief recovery periods, which gives it a good level of realism to the fitness requirements of intermittent sports and makes it the fitness test of choice for field sports. Here’s what it’s all about and how you can test yourself.

Essentially the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test is a way to measure your ability to perform repeated interval runs over a prolonged period of time.

The difference between this test and the classic beep test is that instead of running continuously back and forward over the allotted distance, you get a brief pause between each set of shuttles – giving it the name ‘Yo-Yo test’.
