Multistage fitness test

Introduction

The Multistage Fitness Test Table allows you to convert your raw test score into a VO2 max reading.

What is the point?

The notorious "Bleep Test", or "Yo-Yo Test", was developed by Leger and Lambert in 1982 to test the development of an athlete's maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max).

With its repeated short runs and turns, it is an excellent test of aerobic capacity of games players, though less effective for athletes such as rowers, runners or cyclists.

The Multistage Fitness Test Table allows you to convert your bleep test score into a VO2 max rating - the ultimate measure of aerobic capacity.

What do you need?

Use the form below to convert your bleep test score.

How do you do the test?

Take your score (level and shuttles completed) and read the appropriate VO2 max score.

What results you'll get :

The table is of predicted maximum oxygen uptake values for the Multistage Fitness Test. It was developed by the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science Loughborough University, 1987.

Simply locate the Level and Shuttle you achieved in the test to find your VO2 max value.
