Quick Summary
Running Beep and Yo-Yo Tests no longer has to mean clipboards, stopwatches, and guesswork.
With the Pulses App, coaches can run fully automated team fitness tests — track live heart rate, calculate VO₂ max instantly, and generate structured reports with one tap.
Whether you’re testing 5 or 40 athletes, Pulses App helps you conduct Beep and Yo-Yo Tests efficiently, accurately, and under standardized conditions.
Why Fitness Testing Needs an Upgrade
Manual fitness testing often leads to inconsistent results — timing errors, miscounted shuttles, and spreadsheet confusion are common.
In performance environments where every detail matters, that’s unacceptable.
With Pulses App, every test follows validated protocols and objective measurements:
Pacing and audio signals automated in-app
Live heart rate tracking for up to 15 athletes
VO₂ max and performance scores calculated instantly
Reports stored and shareable for future comparison
That means consistent, repeatable testing sessions that reflect real progress — not environmental noise or human error.

Run Beep and Yo-Yo Tests in the Same App
Pulses App supports all major test formats:
Beep Test (20 m and 15 m versions)
Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Tests Level 1 & 2
Yo-Yo Endurance Tests Level 1 & 2
Each test follows recognized standards for distance, pacing, and stage progression — ensuring results can be compared across athletes, sessions, and teams.
Smarter Testing for Teams and Gyms
With Pulses App, structured group testing becomes effortless:
Test up to 40 athletes at once
Track up to 15 heart-rate sensors live
Mark warnings and exits instantly
Generate standardized PDF reports for every athlete
Capacity:

From Data to Insights
Data alone doesn’t improve performance — interpretation does.That’s why Pulses App integrates seamlessly with Athlete Analyzer, enabling coaches to:
Track athlete trends and compare test results over time
Combine Beep and Yo-Yo data with training load metrics
Plan conditioning cycles and recovery based on objective data
Together, Athlete Analyzer and Pulses App give coaches full visibility — from test performance to training response.
