Head to the Harney basketball court for the "Beep Test"


Post loads and test score to comments.


Coach's Notes. 
Beep Test.  The beep test (aka multi-stage fitness test) is one of the most widely used endurance fitness tests in the world and can be used to estimate your VO2 max. The test involves a series of continuous 20 meter shuttle runs that get progressively more difficult to complete on time. Total work out time will be about 15 minutes. 
  • The test will be set up in the Harney West Gym from 0530-0730. Find Rich -- he will provide a intro to the test and how it is scored, work you through a short warm up, then administer the test. Pencils and score sheets will be provided.
  • For more info, check out this site and the demo video below. 
Reminder to get yer makeup squats in. Admittedly, not the best warmup for the beep test. There is always lunchtime...use Gruber if it is easier.


Training Videos.
  • "Performing the Shoulder Press" - with Crossfit Eternal (2:00). Reviews execution and points of performance.
  • "Beep Test Protocol" - explains the conduct of the test. Enjoy the accent...the test is particularly popular in European/Australian military/fire/police organizations, and many soccer and rugby teams use it as a basic conditioning test.
