The intermittent recovery test differ from the intermittent endurance test in the way that intermittent recovery test uses twenty-five meter long strip of floor space instead of twenty-two and half meter long strip.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In intermittent endurance test, twenty-two and half meter long strip divides the floor into two sections - one of twenty meter and another of two and half meter. The subject is supposed to run in the longer section a per CD until he reaches the other side or he hears the recorded beep.
One hearing the beep, he must turn and return back to his starting point. On reaching there, he is given five seconds time to walk or jog in the shorter section which is of two and half meter.
If the subject fails to cover twenty meter long section before beep sound, a warning is issued to him.
In case of intermittent endurance test, twenty-five meters long strip is used to divide the floor section into parts, one of one of twenty meter and another of five meter. In this test extra five seconds are also added for active break time, thus making it of ten seconds.
