- Aerobic Capacity- Evaluation Tests
- Queen's College step test
- Continuous stepping on and off a 41.3cm high box for 3mins. Men's steps taken at a 24 steps/min and 22 for women. HRs taken 5 secs. after doing the test for 15 secs.
- Prediction
of VO2max not a measurement
- HR
recovery will be affected by prior exercise, food
and fluid intake
- Test isn’t sport specific
- HR
recovery will be affected by prior exercise, food
and fluid intake
- Sub-max. test
- Simple
and cheap equipment required
- HR easily monitored
- Simple
and cheap equipment required
- Direct gas analysis
- Subject does continuous exercise at progressive intensities to exhaustion. Expired air is captured by a mask that's connected to a flow meter and gas analyser. Measuring relative conc. of O? and CO? in expired air to inspired air
- Direct objective measurement of VO2max.
- Accurate,valid and reliable measure
- Tested with different exercises, and in lab. & field settings
- Accurate,valid and reliable measure
- Maximal
test to exhaustion
- Can’t
be used with the elderly/those with health conditions
- Access to specialist equipment is required
- Can’t
be used with the elderly/those with health conditions
- Cooper 12-minute run
- Continuous running to achieve a max. distance in 12 minutes, usually on a 400m track with cones at intervals, they're told the time left per lap. The test ends after 12 minutes and total
distance is recorded, it's a max-intensity test.
- Many can do it at the same time in a field-based setting
- Tests can be carried out by anyone.
- Simple and cheap equipment required
- Prediction of VO?max. not a measurement
- Maximal test to exhaustion limited by motivation
- Not used with elderly/those with health conditions
- Test isn’t sport specific
- Continuous running to achieve a max. distance in 12 minutes, usually on a 400m track with cones at intervals, they're told the time left per lap. The test ends after 12 minutes and total
distance is recorded, it's a max-intensity test.
- NCF multi-stage fitness test
- Continuous 20m shuttle run test at progressive intensities to
exhaustion. Each shuttle timed to an audio cue,test ends when the shuttle isn't completed in the time given, they get levels shuttle no.s
- Only simple and cheap equipment required
- Many can perform the test at the same time
- Published tables of VO?max. equivalents
- Prediction of VO?max not a measurement
- Maximal test to exhaustion limited by motivation.
- Not used with elderly/those with health conditions
- Test isn’t sport specific

exhaustion. Each shuttle timed to an audio cue,test ends when the shuttle isn't completed in the time given, they get levels shuttle no.s
