Questions
How is it different from the Yo-Yo recovery test?
The rest is shorter, 5 s instead of 10 s, and the start pace is slower, so the test lasts longer.
What is the difference between IE1 and IE2?
IE1 starts at 8 km/h, IE2 starts at 11.5 km/h.
How is it scored?
The result is the distance in metres. The first late arrival is a warning, the second ends the test.
