Questions
What is the difference between level 1 and level 2?
Both use the same 20 m course. Level 1 starts at 8 km/h, level 2 starts faster, at 11.5 km/h.
When does a player stop?
When they can no longer keep up or after two misses in a row.
Is this the same as the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test?
No. In the endurance test players run without rest. The intermittent recovery test has a short jog rest after each run.
