Abstract

The purpose of this review article was to explain 1) the physiological responses to the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test (Yo-Yo IR test) and the reliability of this test 2), the relationship between the Yo-Yo IR test and maximal oxygen uptake and 3) also in relation to performance during competition. In addition 4), the application of the Yo-Yo IR tests in sport. Further research in sport physiology and exercise sciences of Thailand is required to assess how manipulating the exercise training and nutrient supplementation impacts on exercise tolerance and the metabolic bases for any changes in the Yo-Yo IR test.
