MAP IRT vs Gacon Test

MAP IRT - Intermittent Recovery Test The field test for football: you always run at the same speed and it is the recovery that gets shorter, until exhaustion. All you need is 50 metres of pitch and about fifteen minutes. Validated in collaboration with the University of Bologna. WHAT YOU MEASURE • Estimated VO2max (ml·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) • Maximal Aerobic Speed (MAS) and metabolic power in W/kg • Your level: Entry, Pro, Elite, Champions • Personal training zones (S2 / S4 / MAS) with the right recovery for you • Heart rate per zone • Post-test lactate, if you measure it • Test history, telling you when an improvement is real and not noise HOW YOU COMPARE • Against the O2UP database: over 1,500 real tests, not textbook values • Dedicated pools for women and under 17s: a woman is compared with women, a boy with his own age group • Comparison by role: goalkeeper, central defender, lateral, midfielder, striker TRAINING • Your speeds and your recoveries, worked out from your own test • Intermittent matrix 50 / 75 / 100 metres for each zone • Ready-made sessions, chosen from what you are missing • Split by period: pre-season or in-season FOR COACHES AND TEAMS • Create your squad and invite athletes with a link • Simultaneous test for up to 40 players with a single audio guide • Squad list with every player's level and tests side by side • CSV import: load the whole squad and the tests already done in one go • PDF reports: squad, session and training • Scouting by role and by weak point ON THE PITCH • Audio guide with a recorded voice: countdown, change, finish • Vibration at every change, if the phone is on silent • Works with the screen locked and offline, syncs afterwards • Bluetooth heart rate belt (Polar, Garmin, Wahoo, Suunto) THE PROTOCOL • Men from 17: 18 km/h, 50 m in 10 seconds • Women and under 17s: 16.5 km/h, 46 m in 10 seconds • Recovery falling from 17 to 2 seconds • Run to exhaustion: the result is total distance WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Classic progressive tests raise the speed. MAP IRT keeps the speed fixed and takes recovery away: that is what actually happens in a match, where you do not get to choose when to catch your breath. WHO IT IS FOR Amateur and recreational athletes, young footballers, coaches and fitness trainers, sports physiotherapists, clubs that want numbers instead of impressions. MEDICAL DISCLAIMER MAP IRT is a sports performance tool. The values it calculates (VO2max, MAS, HR zones) are estimates based on distance and age; they are not a diagnosis. Before a test to exhaustion it is the athlete's responsibility to check their own fitness to take part, with a sports medical examination if needed. GDPR PRIVACY Your data stays yours.
