Phosphate Recovery Test
This fitness test is commonly described in PE textbooks and can be used to analyse energy system interplay and causes of fatigue. In previous years I have used a stop-watch and whistle to time the 7 second sprints and 23 second recovery periods - which means I spent most of the time with my head over the stopwatch! After searching without success for an audio file of this test I decided to make my own last year and use it from my phone with a bluetooth speaker. I used it again this week and thought that other PE teachers might find this useful so I will share it here. Note this version is 8 x 7 seconds (every 30 seconds).
