The Beep Test can be broken down into levels and shuttles. At the commencement of a new level, the required running speed increases. At the end of a level a triple beep will sound to indicate that a new level is commencing. The duration of each level is approximately one minute. The speed participants need to maintain remains constant throughout the “level”.
The tone sounding again indicates that the participants need to return to the opposite end point. This indicates to the participants that the test has started, at which point the participants will run to the opposing 20 metre end point and arrive there no later than when the tone sounds again. The Beep Test begins with a “triple beep” audio tone. The required running speed or pace increases as the test progresses. The participants must maintain a running speed determined by a pre-set audio tone, that sounds like a “beep”, throughout the duration of the test. The Beep Test requires participants to run back and forth between two points positioned 20 metres apart. The beep test is also known by other names, such as: Leger from the University of Montreal in Canada in the 1970s, as a way to determine a person’s aerobic capacity ( VO2max). The Beep Test is a multi-stage fitness test developed, by Professor Luc A.
