You only need to place one foot on or over the cone line, so don’t run past it, only run to it. The success of the test is often based on how well you pace yourself in the early levels. The first level is like a warm up pace, so you should run it quite slow. All that is required for you is to reach the cone before the beep goes. The aim of the beep test is for you to run for as long as you can across the 20metre shuttles, going up and back between cones. The test is widely used across Australia especially in sporting clubs and schools. The Beep Test was invented by Canadians in 1982, and was first run at The University of Montreal in Canada. The Beep test is commonly used to test cardio fitness as it is easy to set up, cheap and large groups can be tested together The beep test provides a good estimate of a persons VO2 Max. The length of the shuttle is 20 metres and a beep indicates when and how often you run. The longer you keep going, the better your score.The Beep Test is also known as the Shuttle Run Test, or Multi Stage Test Level tests increase in difficulty as the test progresses.

We definitely recommend using PodBases for the athletic performance test in order to get the best accuracy and results.

Should I place the Pods in PodBases for the test? No, as long as you enter the age and gender correctly before beginning the test, the app will automatically tell you your general result accordingly. Will I still need to look up my general result in the standardized table? Does the app tell me my VO2 Max score?Ībsolutely, once you finish the test you will automatically be given your VO2 Max score. Yes, to get precise results the distances need to be exact. min) Does the distance between the Pods have to be exactly 20m?.Elite athletes, such as competitive distance runners, racing cyclists or Olympic cross-country skiers can achieve V̇O2 max values exceeding 80 mL/(kg Maximal oxygen consumption reflects cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance capacity in exercise performance. VO2 Max is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise that is, exercise of increasing intensity.
