He took a late-evening flight from Delhi to Bangalore, where he was headed to the National Cricket Academy. He had just played a Ranji Trophy match for Uttar Pradesh but hadn't batted in the second innings because he wasn't fully fit. The next morning he took a yo-yo test at the academy, and flunked it, failing to reach the minimum level set as a mandatory criterion by the Indian team management for a player to qualify for selection. Raina missed the first two ODIs, and he was told that once fit, he would need to take the test again. He did but failed once again to attain the 16:1 mark, the minimum level set for Indian players by the team's strength and conditioning coach, Shankar Basu. Raina was the first big-name player to have failed the test since it came into effect in mid-2016, when Anil Kumble took over as India coach. Age of mythology titans torrent crack. Soon he was joined in that dubious achievement by Yuvraj Singh. The test A yo-yo test involves a player shuttling between two cones that are set 20 metres apart on flat ground. He starts on a beep and needs to get to the cone at the other end before the second beep goes. He then turns back and returns to the starting cone before the third beep. That is one 'shuttle'. A player starts at speed level 5, which consists of one shuttle. By its very nature, the beep test (or yo-yo test) is designed to take you to the limits of your fitness levels. It’s difficult and uncomfortable towards its latter stages, but there are ways to beat it. The next speed level, which is 9, also consists of one shuttle. Speed level 11, the next step up, has two shuttles, while level 12 has three and level 13 four. There are eight shuttles per level from 14 upwards. Level 23 is the highest speed level in a yo-yo test, but no one has come close to getting there yet. Each shuttle covers a distance of 40 metres, and the accumulated distance is an aggregate of distance covered at every speed level. The player gets ten seconds to recover between shuttles. At any point if he fails to reach the cone before the beep goes, he gets a first warning. Usually a player gets a few 'reminders' to keep to the pace, but three official warnings generally marks the end of the test. As a player moves up the levels, the time available to complete each shuttle diminishes, which means he needs to run quicker to reach the next cone before the beep. The player runs until he gets his three warnings, and the level achieved at that point is the test result. Teams have different speed levels as qualifying marks. .Hindi Pdf Hindi Medium Notes For Neet 12th Chemistry Notes In Hindi 12th Physics Notes In Hindi American Pageant 12th Edition Notes Course Notes Ka Asaan Hindi Tarjuma - Islamic Hindi Quran Autocad Book Pdf Autocad Map Gratis Autocad 2018 Manuale Autocad Introduction To Autocad.

Pakistan's minimum level is now 17:4; West Indies are at 19, and New Zealand probably have the highest level, 20:1. As for 'civilians', the simplest way to know if you are fit for a yo-yo test is to run two kilometres in eight minutes. Tumhi din chadhe tumhi din dhale tumhi ho bandhu sakha tumhi mp3 free download. Why do cricketers need it? The yo-yo test is mainly derived from the Leger Test, created by Luc Leger of the University of Montreal, which was popular till the turn of the century. The Leger multi-stage test, where an athlete would run non-stop 20-metre shuttles for 12 minutes, was not considered suitable for sports like cricket, which are marked by bursts of activity separated by recovery periods. 'You bowl, you throw, you hit, you run, you have about 30 seconds before the next ball starts,' Andrew Leipus, who was till recently the head physiotherapist at the NCA, says. 'So you've got to get your heart rate down, your breathing rate down for the next delivery.' Leipus says that the yo-yo test is not simply a fitness test, in that it also helps players improve their fitness while testing it. He used it as such when he doubled up as strength and conditioning coach at the Darren Lehmann Cricket Academy in Adelaide earlier this decade. 'I used to actually run it back to back after 10-15 minutes' recovery time. Alternatively, I would get the players running at a set level.' The intention behind the yo-yo tests and the 'beep tests' of old (similar to the Leger tests, where a player shuttles between cones without taking breaks), Leipus says, was and is to establish a 'baseline fitness', showing the players were fitter than the common man. 'It is going to mean less injuries because the guys are fitter.
