Preparation.

Measure 28 meters between two cones or any other marking items.

Warmup. Before the test, allow 20 minutes of proper warmup, including alternating jogging and walking for 5 minutes, stretching the main muscle groups (quadriceps, hamstrings, hip flexors, groin, and calf) for 5 minutes. The warmup should be completed with an additional period of alternating jogging, running, walking and short sprints (10-15 meters) for 5 minutes. A resting period to hydration and stretching the muscle groups again should precede the start of the test.

Duration of the Soccer-Specific Endurance Test: The test is performed for the duration of a match. In professional players it is two halves of 45 minutes, separated by a period of 15 minutes of rest. During the test, players are allowed to drink water during the walking periods without stopping.

Time to Anaerobic Fatigue: When players are unable to continue that is that time to fatigue. 

Resuming the Endurance Test: Allow for a period of rest 1-2 minutes after the Anaerobic Fatigue took place.

Endurance Time: Add the number of minutes the player completed.

Endurance Distance: Multiply the number of minutes completed by 6 and by 28 meters. Example 50 minutes completed= 8400 meters total distance covered

Sprint Distance: 1/6 of total distance covered. In the example above, sprint distance is 1400 meters

Running Distance: 1/6 of total distance covered. In the example above, running distance is 1400 meters

Jogging Distance: 2/6 of total distance covered. In the example above, running distance is 2800 meters

Walking Distance: 2/6 of total distance covered. In the example above, running distance is 2800 meters
