Test TIVRE (II)

Hello!

     In the last post about tests, we talk about the test TIVRE and the methodology,
If you are interested to do the test TIVRE, in this post we put a link with a protocol of test TIVRE.

     This document is necessary for writting the relevant information that you will get in the test. The initial test speed is 7,8 km/h being increased 0,6km/h each stage, until the subject is unable to maitain the set speed at wich the test is eliminated by registering the number of periods completed.




     Once completed three laps, each player finishes the stage or in the same beacon period where it began. After completion of each of the periods of stress, begins a recovery time of 30 seconds.

Test TIVRE for collective sports

Hello everybody!

     We will talk about the test TIVRE very important to value differents performance factors of team sports. What is "Test TIVRE"? The test TIVRE is  an interval test for the assessment of the specific resistance, and it is useful to assess the specific resistance in team sports: football, hockey, basketball,  handball and football. 

What is the use?

1. Identify the anaerobic interval threshold
2. Identify heart rate recovery effort in each interval
3. Investigate the differences if technical gestures are introduced during the test. Whether to analyze ourselves before or after passing the anaerobic threshold or analyze certain levels of fatigue.
4. Rate up to 12 or 14 players at once in a maximum of 20-30 minutes. And in less than 30 minutes after completing the test, you can have the results.

What is the methodology?

     For basketball, the beacons are distributed around the court like the photo and every turn is 96 meters. The athlete starts in a beacon or brand and will run to the tax rate. Each shield will speed 0.6 km / h. A shield is 3 laps, so each bearing to complete the player will be 288 meters. 

     The player, who will carry at all time a heart rate monitor, is supervisated and you must take the heart rate at the beginning and end of each bearing. Always, you should  reach the same point where you started the shield and the rest between shafts is 30 seconds. During the test, we can also introduce technical elements of the sport.

   The test is complete when the player can not follow the pace imposed. We must remember that for the test to be valid, it must last between 10-20 minutes.

     With this test we can determine training zones of player by the maximum frequency in the test and calculating rates of resistance.
