The Yo-Yo intermittent test is aimed at estimating performance in stop-and-go sports like football (soccer), cricket, basketball and the like. It was conceived around the early 1990s by Jens Bangsbo , [ 1 ] a Danish soccer physiologist, then described in a 2008 paper, "The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test". [ 2 ]
The Cooper test which was designed by Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968 for US military use is a physical fitness test. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In its original form, the point of the test is to run as far as possible within 12 minutes.
Football strength is a training regime, considered the most complex physical quality to be developed by an athlete. [1] The training regime, exercises used, how the exercises are performed, and the types of equipment all play important roles in achieving desired results.

The multi-stage fitness test (MSFT), also known as the beep test, bleep test, PACER test (progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run), or the 20m shuttle run test, is a running test used to estimate an athlete's aerobic capacity (VO 2 max).
Periodization is most widely used in resistance program design to avoid over-training and to systematically alternate high loads of training with decreased loading phases to improve components of muscular fitness (e.g. strength, strength-speed, and strength-endurance). The Selye-cycles are similar to the "micro cycles" used at later times.
The Margaria–Kalamen test has been a standard test for determining peak power for some time, and at one time was thought to be a measure of the power of the pure alactic anaerobic system. However, it is now thought that even on such a short test, there is still a significant contribution from the lactic anaerobic system. [4]
Here’s what experts recommend to test it out: Start on a treadmill. Using a treadmill is a great way to control your environment while getting comfortable with walking backwards.
