It is an extremely simple test, which requires minimal equipment and demands the athlete(s) to run continuously until volitional exhaustion. This test was originally developed for adults in 1982 by Leger and Lambert (2) and then modified later in 1988 for children, by reducing the stages from 2-minutes to 1-minute by Leger et al (3). The multistage fitness test, otherwise known as the beep test, bleep test, or the 20m shuttle run test is a continuous sub-maximal test which has become the most recognised tool for measuring aerobic power (1). VO2 max = 483 / Test completion time (minutes) + 3.What is the Multistage Fitness (Beep) test? The subject can run and/or walk but the scope of the test is for the subject to cover the distance as fast as they can. A stopwatch must be used to record the exact time the distance is covered in. This VO2 max test requires an appropriate running location with a measured out distance of exactly 1.5 miles (2414 meters). VO2 max (women) = 65.81 - 0.1847 x Heart rate at test completion VO2 max based on 1.5 Mile Run / Walk Test VO2 max (men) = 111.33 - 0.42 x Heart rate at test completion When the 3 minutes pass, the subject must wait for 5 seconds then take their pulse for 15 seconds, then multiply the value by 4 to obtain the heart rate in beats per minute. The subject should step to the beat for 3 minutes. Male subjects should set the metronome at 96 beats per minute whilst female subjects should set it at 88 beats per minute.ĭuring the test, for each beat of the metronome, one step of the sequence should be performed. The following sequence should be followed during the test “left leg up, right leg up, left leg down, right leg down and repeat” and should be preceded by light stretching and practice. This VO2 max test requires a step that is 16.25 inches from ground level, a stopwatch and a metronome. VO2 max = 132.853 - 0.0769 x Weight in lbs - 0.3877 x Age in years + 6.315 x (0 if Female, 1 if Male) - 3.2649 x Test completion time in minutes - 0.1565 x Heart rate at test completion VO2 max based on Three Minute Step Test At the end of the test, the subject must take their pulse for 10 seconds (then multiply by 6 to retrieve the heart rate in beats per minute. The subject must not run but walk as fast as they can. By using a stopwatch, the subject mut record how long it takes them to walk the measured 1 mile distance. This is also known as the Rockport Fitness Walking Test (RFWT) and the subject must find an appropriate walking location and measure out a distance of 1 mile (1609 meters). Where MHR = 208 – (0.7 x Age) VO2 max based on One Mile Walk Test
VO2 max = 15.3 x MHR / (Number of heart beats in 20 seconds x 3) This is the most simple estimation that only requires the subject’s age and number of hearts beats during 20 seconds. Formulas VO2 max based on Resting Heart Rate
