There are also other factors which can affect performance, which need to be controlled if possible. The test is run and the practice allowed for the participants. Reliability: The reliability of the beep test would depend on how strictly There are published VO 2maxĮquivalents for each level reached, which can be determined using this Beep VO 2max Calculator. Validity: The correlation to actual VO 2max scores is high (see some of these references). Groups, but not for populations in which a maximal exercise Target population: this test is suitable for sports teams and school You may also wish to check out the Beep Test Recording Sheet. This level score can be converted to a VO 2maxĮquivalent score using this calculator. There is a more detailed table of norms for the beep test. This norms table below is based on personal experience, and gives you a very rough idea of what level score would be expected for adults, using the standard Australian beep test version. Record the last level completed (not necessarily the level stopped at).
Scoring: The athlete's score is the level and number of shuttles (20m) reached before they were unable to keep up with The subject is given a warning the first time they fail to reach the line (within 2 meters), and eliminated after the second warning. If the line is not reached before the beep sounds, the subject is given a warning and must continue to run to the line, then turn and try to catch up with the pace within two more ‘beeps’. If the line is reached before the beep sounds, the subject must wait until the beep sounds before continuing. After about one minute, a sound indicates an increase in speed, and the beeps will be closer together. The subject continues runningīetween the two lines, turning when signaled by the recorded beeps. The participants stand behind one of the lines facing the second line, and begin running when instructed by the recording. Reason the test is also often called the 'beep' or 'bleep' test. Procedure: This test involves continuous runningīetween two lines 20m apart in time to recorded beeps. Ensure that the participants are adequately warmed-up. Prepare forms and record basic information such as age, height, body weight, gender, test conditions (particularly the weather and running surface). Perform screening of health risks and obtain informed consent. Pre-test: Explain the test procedures to the subject (many beep test audios have an explanation at the start of the recording). Equipment required: Flat, non-slip surface, markingĬones, 20m measuring tape, beep test audio, audio player, recording sheets.
