This group of athletes are doing what they call the Interval Shuttle Run Test. The test looks like a variation of the beep test, similar to the Yo-Yo test. Notice the markers a couple of meters before the turning line, which is used to indicate the area which they must be in when it beeps otherwise they get a failure warning. At one point the players stop for 15 seconds, while the Yo-Yo Test has recovery times of 5 or 10 seconds.
