I had to do it for fitness testing back in highschool. The highest I hit was level 11, there were a couple of guys from my school that pushed on until high 14.

The beep test, also known as the bleep test, multi-stage fitness test, or shuttle run test, is used by sports coaches and trainers to estimate an athlete's maximum oxygen uptake better known as VO2 Max. The test is especially useful for players of sports like football, hockey, or rugby. The test involves running continuously between two points that are 20metres apart. These runs are synchronised with a pre-recorded audio tape, CD or laptop which plays beeps at set intervals. As the test proceeds, the interval between each successive beep reduces, forcing the athlete to increase velocity over the course of the test, until it is impossible to keep in sync with the recording.
Originally Posted by Mudge
The recording is typically structured into 23 'levels', each of which lasts 60 seconds. Usually, the interval of beeps is calculated require a speed at the start of 8.5 km/h, which increases by 0.5 km/h with each level. The progression from one level to the next is signalled by 3 rapid beeps. The highest level attained before failing to keep up is recorded as the score for that test.
The procedure is designed to measure the maximum endurance of an individual. Therefore, it should not be used for those of low fitness levels.

I hope I answered your question. If not I believe you can find much more information on the reference site.

how does that give you a true VO2max? You would need to go to a lab to get a true VO2max test done.
Maybe it is a VO2submax test? I have seen (and used) VO2sub max tests before and you have to know the persons heart rate through out the test and then at the end to corolate that to a chart that gives you the milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight they are estimated to be using.Optimum Sports Performance

Interesting question. I always wondered how the beep test can give you the true VO2Max. As far as I know the VO2submax is considered the running economy. Am I correct? Originally Posted by P-funk
