Players do the drill twice, with a two-minute break between (which measures heart rate recovery time). Two "timers" and two "time recorders" are required for efficiency sake. One medium sized group must be started every minute, with experienced coaches able to run 3 medium-sized groups consecutively when in a try-out setting (6 consecutive reps total); shouting out approximate times as players cross the finish line.

A motion detecting timing system on individual athletes would be best practice. The idea would be to establish a baseline for the athlete and track the athletes progress throughout the course of the season, otherwise as a tool to help make final roster decisions.

It is also possible to run the "Offensive Specific Special Endurance Test" on one side of the floor and this test for "Defensive Special Endurance" on the other.
