Multi-stage fitness test

The multi-stage fitness test, also known as the bleep test, beep test, pacer test, or shuttle run test, is used by sports coaches and trainers to estimate an athlete's VO2 Max (maximum oxygen uptake). The test is especially useful for players of sports like football, hockey, or rugby.

The test involves running continuously between two points that are 20 m apart. These runs are synchronised with a pre-recorded audio tape or CD, which plays beeps at set intervals. As the test proceeds, the interval between each successive beep reduces, forcing the athlete to increase velocity over the course of the test, until it is impossible to keep in sync with the recording.

The recording is typically structured into 23 'levels', each of which lasts 60 seconds. Usually, the interval of beeps is calculated as requiring a speed at the start of 8.5 km/h, increasing by 0.5 km/h with each level. The progression from one level to the next is signalled by 3 rapid beeps. The highest level attained before failing to keep up is recorded as the score for that test.

The procedure is designed to measure the maximum endurance of an individual. Therefore, it should not be used for those of low fitness levels. It is generally accepted that the multi-stage fitness test can not be finished. Some of the worls's fittest athletes such as marathon runner Robert de Castella and were only able to manage 18's or 19's.

This test is now used by the British Army & Royal Air Force as one of the basic measures of personal fitness. It is also used in the fitness test when one applies to be a Police Community Support Officer. The level required for Army officers at selection is 10.2, Royal Marine Officers at least 11.0 and Royal Navy officers about 8 - 9.0.


[edit] Format
The original test was only available on audio tape format. A problem with the tape was that it could stretch over time, or the tape player did not play at a consistent speed, therefore making the timing between beeps inaccurate. On most versions of the tape there was a one minute recorded interval for calibrating the tape and tape player. The compact disc or mp3 format is now used predominantly, and does not have the above problems with calibration. There is now some beeptest software which turns any computer into a beeptest machine.
