It is not recommended for recreational athletes or people with health problems, injuries or low fitness levels.
This test is a maximal test, which requires a reasonable level of fitness.These include: running efficiency and turning technique, anaerobic capacity, motivation and social dynamics, motor skills and cognitive ability (especially in children), environmental differences, clothing and running surfaces, test familiarization and instructions, the purpose and context of testing Reliability: to increase reliability, you can give consistent instructions prior to the test and provide the same encouragement and apply the same strictness to when to finish the test.įactors to consider: Although the beep test is primarily a fitness test of the aerobic energy system, there is a range of other factors that can affect performance in the test and are important to consider. Test is often conducted outside, the environmental conditions The score attained, and the scoring can be subjective. Also, the test continues to maximumĮffort unlike many other tests of endurance capacity.ĭisadvantages: Practice and motivation levels can influence As it is a maximal exercise test, it is not sutiable for populations in which a maximal exerciseĪdvantages: Large groups can perform this test allĪt once for minimal costs, using less space than the standard 20m beep test. Also, for those deemed unsuited to the twists, turns, sharp acceleration/deceleration of 15m shuttle running, there is an alternative Chester Treadmill Police Walk Test. Groups which do not have the space for the 20m test. Target population: this test is suitable for The standard for UK police is level 5.4, which has been determined to be equivalent to a predicted oxygen uptake value of 35.0 ml.kg-1.min-1. Record the last shuttle completed (not necessarily the shuttle stopped at). Of shuttles (15m) reached before they were unable to keep up with Scoring: The athlete's score is the level and number The participants are given a warning the first time they fail to reach the line (within 2 meters), and are 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 ‘bleeps’. 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. Procedure: This test involves continuous runningīetween two lines 15m 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. For details of the levels, speeds, distances, see the 15m Bleep Test Table. Equipment required: Flat, non-slip surface, markingĬones, 15m measuring tape, beep test audio, music player,
