There is one version of the yo-yo test that is essentially the same as the beep test (the yo-yo endurance test level 1), but most yo-yo tests have a rest period after every 40m (2 x 20m) distance covered, compared to the beep test which is a continuous test. Differences between the Beep and Yo-Yo Tests Each test can be converted to a VO 2max score. The scores are usually recorded as the level (or stage) achieved and a certain number of shuttles. In both tests, athletes run to exhaustion. Similarities of the Beep and Yo-Yo Testsīoth the beep and yo-yo tests are shuttle runs, which require the athlete to run back and forth over a 20m course in time to audio signals. The yo-yo test, inspired by the beep test and having a lot of similarities, is another field test for team sports athletes which is becoming more and more popular. The multi-stage 20 shuttle run test, commonly known as the beep test, is a popular field test of aerobic fitness. On paper, the "measurement" shows the 16.2 as the "measured as tougher" player, where in reality, I'd want the 13.8 playing for my life if I had to pick, 5 times out of 5.Comparing the Beep Test and the Yo-Yo Test (Hey - I'm not encouraging this, but it happens!.
Average beep test scores full#
The 13.8, on the other hand, 'gutsed out' the last two point-levels and goes off in the corner to throw up a stomach full of lactate. But let's say the 16.2 finished there because that was impressive enough, they knew 12 would keep them in the squad, etc etc - and they really probably had a few more shuttles in them. On measurement, one would be tempted to say the 16 is tougher. Two players record a 13.8 and a 16.2 respectively, both very very good measures. It really is a good measure of VO2MAX for running, and toughness can only change someone a few "points of levels" here or there, it really is that absolute a measure. Say - 30 or 40 mins 3 or 4 times a week - and you'll notice progressive improvements on the beep test, and also in your fitness - you'd probably notice these improvements overall in your game & life too, increasing aerobic fitness is usually a good thing!Ĭlick to expand.I've used it with large teams too, and yes, it works for large groups well.īeing picky, I'd say it allows one to observe the toughness of an athelete, but not measure.
Going running, or walking & running until you can run for the whole time - if you find it difficult to run for extended periods, is the best way to improve. The main way to improve: improve your aerobic capacity. Don't wave the arms wildy or anything like that, and only run and touch the line / over the line with your extended foot, don't jog around a little half-circle or anything at each end. Certainly walking until you need to run is good advice. I've tested many many people using it, and the main advice I would give them is to minimise energy expenditure. Well, it's not the sort of thing that technique matters a whole heap on. It is a running-based measure of aerobic fitness, and is seen as pretty reliable and consistent measure (much, much moreso than NRTP levels ).Īs for the OP's questions about strategies. Click to expand.Nope, it is indeed the beep test (or, more correctly, as another poster pointed out, it's the multi-stage fitness test).
