The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level 1 (YYIR1) evaluated intermittent high-intensity endurance under the same field-testing conditions. Maximal anaerobic capacity was assessed while participants performed three 10-second all-out bouts separated by 20 seconds of passive recovery (3\u2009\u00d7\u200910\u00a0s) on a nonmotorized treadmill. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Huge interplayer variability was observed for sprint decrements in 3\u2009\u00d7\u200910 seconds (coefficient of variation\u2009=\u200937%) and 5\u2009\u00d7\u200930\u00a0m (coefficient of variation\u2009=\u200962%). The 3\u2009\u00d7\u200910 performance was largely associated with 5\u2009\u00d7\u200930-m mean and best time and very largely with 30 seconds.

The YYIR1 was moderately to largely associated with 5 \u00d7 30-m variables and 30 seconds, respectively.
