Bleep Test

bleeptest

The Bleep test is also known as the Shuttle run test or the Yo-Yo test. The test is a maximal running test performed on a flat 20 meter distance.

Instructions:
1. Mark a 20 meter distance. Use lines, tape og cones at each end.
2. Warm up for 5-10 minutes.
3. Start the Bleep test software. At each bleep, you need to have at least one foot on line with the endpoints of the track.
4. If you are to fast you will have to wait at the line until the bleep.
5. An increase in speed is indicated with a double-bleep.
6. When you can no longer follow the pace (misses the bleep two consecutive times) stop the test and read your VO2max score (Fitness) in the calculator.

This calculator is also included in Fitness Test pro

Background:

As the test is based on a controlled gradual increase in speed, this running test is easier to follow for non-runners than most other running tests.

Note that this calculator uses a slightly different algorithm for calculating VO2max than the original article by Léger. We use the algorithm developed by professor Jens Bangsbo From University of Copenhagen. His version of the Bleep test is known as the Yo-yo test.

Léger L, Gadoury C.

Quoting you dont know me.:

"No-one gets past 8.0 No-one" Im sorry but that is incorrect! Verry much so! As a sports performer at college we do the test correctly! Everyone got over level 8, Most got to level 10 and over. we are aged 16-19. I accept that we are much fitter than your average person but your facts are still verry inacurate.

102 beeps = level 11/9

#46 Kelli 2012-09-17 20:02

Some people count the levels which has multiple laps in it or it can be counted just by the number of laps. For example 80 laps is the same as level 9/10

#45 connor 2012-09-01 14:22

i got 102 beeps what level is that
?

#44 No-one gets past 8.0 No-one. 2012-08-30 15:45

The reason kids score so highly is that they do the test incorrectly. It is not a continuous run for starters. Anyone can do that. They must stop at the end of 20 metres pivot with at least one foot at the line and start again in the other direction. They must get to the line on the beep every time. If they are ahead they must wait for the beep then commence again. It is the stop start nature that eliminates runners and not how fast they run or far they get ahead. That is not considered the beep test. Once they do it correctly they drop like flies. The army is level 8. So are most police forces. My son who is 16 was boasting 12 and 16 scores with kids at school getting up to 20. When they did itcorrectly the average score was 4. Some kids to got 6 and one got an 8. 6 year olds getting to level 18? yeah thanks for that. The shuttle or beep test as it's known is about aerobic fitness not continuous running. If your kid did get a 16 it wasn't done properly and if it was I don't believe it because they are physically incapable. By the way level 18 is "continuous stop/start every 20 meters and pivot for 4,000 meters. Your kid ran 4 kilometres at 17kmh did they? That's level 18 on the beep test. An olympic athlete can't run that.

#36 Helena 2012-01-28 13:56

Omg. Did this at school yesterday in teams, got to level 21, it was awful. My legs hurt so much, and LEVEL 40 isn't a lie, but it only goes up to level 21 if you do it in Secondary school. I don't suggest doing this voluntarily, I was so sick after :sad: Anyways, yeah, I hate this -,-

#35 Stuart burridge 2012-01-13 20:13

#24 Ocean 2011-09-14 21:43

I did the bleep test today and I got level 12 and im 12 years old . When I was in year 7 ( i was 11 years old) I got level 14 no word of a lie ! so it is possible , the average female should get 10 or over and a man should get 12 or over .

#23 Haley Leas 2011-08-23 17:43

I Have No Idea What Its Doing?

#22 Daniel Mancini 2011-07-26 02:13

#21 BrianK 2011-04-18 17:53

how to you know how many laps you do after the level (what stage)
Example : 9.___

#20 zorro 2011-04-14 18:50

i'm 12 and i gor to 70.1kg and it's my first time.b

#19 Morten 2010-12-09 19:49

Foxy -> You can just push play and test it yourself. For the first level it is 9 seconds, but I'm not going to post the complete table here :-)

#18 Foxy 2010-12-09 19:03

how much time do you get from one side to the other > ?

example : level 1 10 seconds

i want to know the actual answer

#17 Morten 2010-11-24 22:07

Robert -> What is it that you don't understand about the levels?
You start the test - every minute speed is increased. When you can no longer follow the pace, you can read your result (Aerobic fitness / VO2max) directly on the screen.

#16 robert 2010-11-24 12:09

this suks i dont get how the levals work

#15 Rose 2010-11-20 11:44

Very nice test
i was sick after woulds

#14 lol 2010-10-05 08:15

mia that's literally impossible for someone of your age college men wingers aim for somewhere around 14 also i love people who say they finished it literally no professional player in the world has EVER finished so stop lying

#13 Morten Z 2010-10-01 23:29

Adil - there is no need to calculate any levels. When a person stops just look at the result on the calculator (fitness = VO2max). That is much easier than noting the level and then looking up VO2max in a table.

#12 Adil 2010-10-01 21:20

plz tell me how we will calculate the level...

#11 mia 2010-06-23 23:07

omg i got to level 16 am i 11 years old haha we did it at are school. and you can get bleep test that go up to 40 so it isnt a lie . xxx

Now stop asking stupid questions and read the screen!

#9 Setu Reupena 2010-03-15 09:44

Double beeps indicate the start of the next level..

#8 Adolph Smith 2010-02-21 01:06

They test us in South African Police with this . I think they start on level 36 with the test. Most of the guys fail because they do not make the third stage its about 18 laps.

Can Someone Find Out What The Bleep Tests Sore Is For Any1 Famous

#6 billy bob 2009-12-07 15:02

bullshit level 40 u cok it only goes up to level 20

#5 ali 2009-11-16 15:25

#4 Morten Z 2009-10-26 01:29

Well, you don't need to know what level you are on. When you can no longer follow the pace, you can read your fitness level in the display.

Anyway - every minute the speed increases by 0.5 km/h, so minutes = levels.

#3 joe 2009-10-23 14:42

how do you know what level you are on??

#2 kyle 2009-10-04 16:46

i got to levle ten
