This test involves continuous running between two lines 20m apart in time to recorded beeps.
The test subject stand behind one of the lines facing the second line, and begin running when instructed.
The subject continues running between the two lines, turning when signaled by the recorded beeps. After about one minute, a sound indicates an increase in speed, and the beeps will be closer together.
This continues each minute (level).
If the line is not reached in time for each beep, the subject must run to the line turn and try to catch up with the pace within 2 more ‘beeps’. Also, if the line is reached before the beep sounds, the subject must wait until the beep sounds.
The test is stopped if the subject fails to reach the line (within 2 meters) for two consecutive ends.
The athlete's score is the level and number of shuttles (20m) reached before they were unable to keep up with the recording.
