Yo-Yo Intermittent Test

Ruval Enterprises

About this app

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).

Ratings and reviews

I like the app, but I have one small request. When I’m running, I can see the lap count on the display. Once I see it, my mind feels like it’s enough and I stop running earlier than I should. It would be great if there’s an option to hide the lap count during the session and only view it after finishing. This would help me push myself more while running.

its good and helps you prepare. Just dont look at the phone. connect it to the speaker.

Couldn't find a calculator that would convert the Yoyo Endurance level 1 scores to show Vo2 max. Rather painful. Considering that was the reason for the exercise and also the test ended at level 14.6. meaning that we weren't able to continue. 18 students not happy. We move on.
