Jinky Jim Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinky Jim Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 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. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6 Level 7 Level 8 Level 9 Level 10 Level 11 stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max stage 1 VO2 Max 50.6 stage 1 VO2 Max 54.0 stage 1 VO2 Max 57.5 stage 1 VO2 Max 60.9 stage 1 VO2 Max 64.4 stage 1 VO2 Max 67.8 stage 1 VO2 Max 71.3 stage 1 VO2 Max 74.7 stage 1 VO2 Max 78.2 stage 1 VO2 Max 81.6 stage 1 VO2 Max 85.1 RESULTS THEN USED ON THE FOLLOWING CHART:- VO2 MAX SCORES FOR MEN (ml/kg/min) 18-25 years 26-35 years 36-45 years 46-55 years 56-65 years 65+ years Excellent > 60 > 56 > 51 >45 > 41 >37 Good 52-60 Average 42-46 Poor 30-36 < 30 49-56 40-42 30-34 < 30 43-51 35-38 26-30 < 26 39-45 32-35 25-28 < 25 36-41 30-31 22-25 < 22 33-37 26-28 20-21 < 20 65+ years 32 28-32 25-27 22-24 19-22 17-18 < 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Watching the training sessions has me motivated to push harder in the gym this morning, so I can't imagine how buzzing these lot must feel.

nufcjb Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) It feels different with Eddie and also the new owners. Eddie probably has the same traits and philosophies as Rafa. We all wanted Rafa to succeed and we genuinely knew he would have. Fat Mike was going to benefit any success Rafa would have the team achieve but the cunt was so stupid to even realise that so didn't back Rafa. Now, with Howe and owners both wanting the same thing, it really feels like a fresh start, albeit with the same players for now. But it feels good infinitely.

Carlito Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Everything from yesterday alone has actually made me warm to him quite a bit. The insane work ethic, the great man-management, his enthusiasm for the game, his respect for the fanbase all comes across as very Keegan-esque. I just really hope his 16 months out of management has helped him better his game and we're getting the new and improved Eddie Howe who can actually take us to the next level. He wasn't anywhere near my first choice and I was initially highly critical of him but I'd love to be proven wrong and see us become the club we want to be under his management.

The little explosion when hit the ball honestly tickled me! Wasn't Emery described as being meticulous in his planning to an almost obsessive extent? Eddie Howe seems cut from the same cloth in that respect if not differing setup to that of emery. That fills me full of confidence that the owners have narrowed down to two meticulous football minded people. You'd think that would apply to all coaches but clearly not when you consider what Bruce served up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
