And that’s followed up with the results;- VO2 MAX DEFINITION VO2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake, peak oxygen uptake or aerobic capacity) is the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical fitness of the individual. The name is derived from V - volume per time, O2 - oxygen, max - maximum. VO2 max is expressed either as an absolute rate in litres of oxygen per minute (l/min) or as a relative rate in millilitres of oxygen per kilogram of bodyweight per minute (ml/kg/min). The latter expression is often used to compare the performance of endurance sports athletes. VO2 MAX SCORES The following Vo2 max scores are approximate scores at stage 1 of each of the 21 levels, if you wish to find out your approximate VO2 max scores at different stages of each of the 21 levels, then Google “Beep Test score calculator”, this will then give you various websites where you can access a calculator to work out your approximate VO2 max score at any stage over the 21 levels.

THE BEEP TEST PROTOCOL 1) The Beep Test is performed over a distance of 20-meters; this distance is marked out with two cones or two lines (e.g. marked with chalk or tape) which are placed exactly 20-meters apart. 2) There are 21-levels on the full beep test and each level has a set amount of stages to complete. The higher the level the greater the number of stages to complete e.g. Level -1 has 7 stages, level -11 has 12 stages and the final level -21 has 16 stages. Each level goes for approximately 1-minute. Each increase in level is accompanied by an increase in the beep tempo (beeps get closer together). The test starts at 8.5 km/hr (level-1) and increases by 0.5km/hr at each level The supplied soundtrack will take you to Level 7, Stage 5. 3) Your end score will be based on the amount of stages you were able to complete. If, for example at Level -7 you were able to complete 8 Stages, your final test score would be 7/8. 4) “THEACTUALTEST”Theparticipantturnstheir“BeepTest”onandpositionsthemselves adjacent to one of the cones. The participant then starts on the starter’s command and must continually touch the opposite cone (or place any part of a foot on the marked line), keeping in tempo with the beeps. 5) Once the participant is unable to get to the next cone before the scheduled beep, the test then continues for one more beep/cone, if the participant is successful in playing “catch up” and can reach the next cone before the next beep, then the test continues, however if the participant fails two consecutive beeps/cones, then the test ends and their final score reverts back to the last successful cone attempt. LEVELS & STAGES Level 1 at 8.5km/hr has 7 stages Level 2 at 9.0 km/hr has 8 stages Level 3 at 9.5 km/hr has 8 stages Level 4 at 10.0 km/hr has 9 stages Level 5 at 10.5 km/hr has 9 stages Level 6 at 11.0 km/hr has 10 stages Level 7 at 11.5 km/hr has 10 stages Level 8 at 12.0 km/hr has 11 stages Level 9 at 12.5 km/hr has 11 stages Level 10 at 13.0 km/hr has 11 stages Level 11 at 13.5 km/hr has 12 stages Level 12 at 14.0 km/hr has 12 stages Level 13 at 14.5 km/hr has 13 stages Level 14 at 15.0 km/hr has 13 stages Level 15 at 15.5 km/hr has 13 stages Level 16 at 16.0 km/hr has 14 stages Level 17 at 16.5 km/hr has 14 stages Level 18 at 17.0 km/hr has 15 stages Level 19 at 17.5 km/hr has 15 stages Level 20 at 18.0 km/hr has 16 stages Level 21 at 18.5 km/hr has 16 stages

I don’t know if anyone else has repeated this feat, since I packed in teaching PE in 2012, but before that only 3 people had successfully reached all 20 levels……David Beckham, Seb Coe and some Kenyan runner I can’t remember……sounds easy to do but if you try it yourself it’s bloody exhausting….any kid reaching past level 10 was actually doing very well…..for those of you who managed to avoid this nice little warm up…..after completion, at whatever level you had to stop at, there were charts which could be used to work out exactly how much oxygen you were converting into energy……obviously the higher the percentage the more likely you were able to perform exercise at a higher level.

What Middle school did you go to…..I incorporated the bleep test in my PE lessons when I taught in Newcastle.

Don’t blame me…..I’m just quoting “Cannybagof”??…..didn’t realise anyone on this forum spouted false information??

Thanks Gideon

Bloody confused now…is Don Howe his dad or not…….Wikipedia doesn’t mention his parents.

Well bugger me…..which planet have I been on over the last 10 years, I never realised his dad was the ex Arsenal manager Don Howe?

Not sure about a regular basis but could give an insight into the “joe Harvey” 60’s period and the fairs cup, for those who might want a bit of early history?

Thank you everyone….I learn something new every day on this forum?

What’s a “left field name”….not heard that expression before.?

Fully expect our new manager to reshape the team into a competitive side capable of getting 12 points this side of the new year, even though the fixtures are not that easy. A few January buys, transform the playing style of the team and I’m sure another 25 points post January will not be beyond us.

I know how you feel but if a new manager with perhaps 28 games, a transfer window and 7-8 decent players already on the books, cannot get 36 more points then perhaps we’ve appointed the wrong manager?

Imo we get the manager we want to achieve the progress we desire. No good looking for a short term appointment who they think might keep us up then end up having to stick with him until he doesn’t achieve the aim we have then we have to sack him mid term next season and start all over again. Start at the top and aim high straight away.

Perhaps new owners wanted us to be “happy” twice....first the “takeover", then a week later the “sacking” ?

ooops.....just up on bbc now

bbc and sky not peddling it......wont believe their favourite has been binned?

Mutual consent....oh and £8 million to ease the pain

Suspect he’s only there on a Temporary basis…..can’t sack everyone ,someone has to do the coaching and run the team till a full time replacement is found.Whether Jones will be asked to stay on in a coaching capacity will be up to the new manager.

When Charlie Mitten was manager and we were got relegated, though we did score 86 goals in that season.

Read somewhere that Charnley has been asked to stay on for a short time to oversee the changeover

I recon Mackem….but could be scouser or cockney…..interesting to see how many more we attract in the coming hours?

Sack Bruce Sack the rest of the coaching staff but leave Jones New Wheelie Bins Bring in DOF New Manager Longer Term……January transfer window…….New DM,CM, FORWARD Sack all Academy Staff and start all over again. Even longer Term……..Build new Training complex(like Leicester) Improve women’s team and make it a bigger profile.

Time….I think……to put this thread to bed…….perhaps we can look back at it in the future and have a laugh at all our responses?
