How to conduct the Multistage Fitness test There are numerous variations of this test, but the most commonly used protocol has an initial running velocity of 8.5 km/hr, and increases the speed by 0.5 km/hr each minute thereafter.Īs this test is a measure of aerobic power, it is therefore typically used in sports which have a high aerobic demand such as: It is this increase in speed which reflects the increase in difficulty/intensity. It is important to note that whenever fitness testing is performed, it must be done so in a consistent environment (i.e.
facility), so that it is protected from varying weather types, and with a dependable surface that is not effected by wet or slippery conditions. If the environment is not consistent, the reliability of repeated tests at later dates can be substantially hindered and result in worthless data.
As the individual progresses through the levels, the speed between the beeps decreases giving the individual less time to complete each shuttle, thus increasing the intensity.
If the athlete achieves two consecutive fail attempts, they are withdrawn from the test and their score recorded as final. However, if the individual reaches the line before the second consecutive beep, their fail attempts are reset.
