Hi lads just a question here. Once you get the total yoyo test distance, how do you calculate the MAS. For instance if your score is 17.1. what would the MAS score be
Thanks for the great question! There is a results guide for the Yo-Yo test that outlines the speed (km/h) and distance (m) accumulated for each level of the test which can be found via this website: www.topendsports.com/testing/yo-yo-intermittent-levels.htm In your case a result of 17.1 equates to a top speed of 16km/h. Maximal Aerobic Speed (MAS) can then be calculated by converting this to meters per second (m/s) as shown below: (16 x 5)/18 = 4.44 MAS = 4.44 Example interval calculations using MAS of 4.44: 15s @100% MAS = 4.44 x 15 = 67m 15s @110% MAS = (4.44 x 1.1) x 15 = 73m 15s @120% MAS = (4.44 x 1.2) x 15 = 80m
An athlete is removed from the test if the receive two warnings for the following: They don’t reach the start/finish line on or before the audio signal. They start to run before the audio signal. They run short of the turning line. These do not have to be consecutive, this is two warnings across the entire test.
Hi Cameron, thanks for the comment. Both the Yo-Yo and Beep tests are used to measure aerobic capacity. If you want some tips on how to improve your aerobic capacity and smash your next beep or yo-yo test check out our blog on building your tank or watch our video on MAS training. www.triaxperformance.com/post/maximal-aerobic-speed-mas ruclips.net/video/PXOOXbASUIk/видео.html
Hi Steven, thanks for your question. The timings for the test change with each increase in speed so the easiest way to conduct the test is to get your hands on the Yo-Yo test audio (available online/youtube for free) and run this through a speaker. The rest period for each interval is 10 seconds and remains the same throughout the test.
Hi George, thanks for your comment. There are 3 ways to receive a warning in the test and if you receive two warnings you are removed from the test. Ways to receive a warning: The participant does not reach the start/finish line before the beep The participant starts to run before the beep The participant runs short of the turning line As you identified these do not have to be consecutive, two warnings throughout any stage of the test results in being removed.
Great question. At a minimum you should test at least twice. The first test to establish what your baseline fitness levels are, and a second time after a block of training (ie. 8-week pre-season) to assess whether or not your athletes got fitter.
This video is easy to understand although I’m not familiar with English. Great! and thank you!🙏
Thank you so much, glad it was helpful!
So for level 15.3 what is the distance covered etc. I’m finding the table really difficult to read.
880m, the stages of each level go up by 40m.

In your case a result of 17.1 equates to a top speed of 16km/h. Maximal Aerobic Speed (MAS) can then be calculated by converting this to meters per second (m/s) as shown below:
(16 x 5)/18 = 4.44
MAS = 4.44
Example interval calculations using MAS of 4.44:
15s @100% MAS = 4.44 x 15 = 67m
15s @110% MAS = (4.44 x 1.1) x 15 = 73m
15s @120% MAS = (4.44 x 1.2) x 15 = 80m
Hey, what happens if you miss a deep then make it back but then miss again do you keep going because it wasn’t 2 in a row?
An athlete is removed from the test if the receive two warnings for the following:
They don’t reach the start/finish line on or before the audio signal.
They start to run before the audio signal.
They run short of the turning line.

Would this help with the normal 20m bleep test mate

So how many seconds do you give them to get to the 1st Cone. And are all the rest periods the same amount of time before starting the next 20 mtrs

@@TRIAXPerformancewouldn’t recommend RUclips due to advert interruption.
Is it running 20meter and run 20back or 10meters run and 10back I didn't understand
It’s a 20m run up and back, with a recovery zone at one end where you walk 5m up and back. Hope this helps 👍🏻
What is the average for a pro football player ?
Around 19-21, with the fittest players scoring >21.
2:20 pretty sure it’s not if you miss 2 in a row.

How often do you recommend retesting?
