AeroExaminer - Aerobic Capacity Testing & Training |
$3.99 Educational Discounts |
The AeroExaminer App includes three aerobic capacity testing methods in one App: Beep (or Bleep) Test, Yo-Yo Intermittent Test and a Treadmill Test. Also, it includes our popular AeroRadar App. These tests are known as multi stage shuttle run tests (MST) and are used to estimate an individual's maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2 max), which gives an indication of one’s aerobic fitness. These tests are commonly used to test athletes in several sports such as soccer, most team sports, and others.
The App is designed to interact with our sports Apps, so the user can have an integral "trainer".
Advanced and experienced athletes can create their own versions of any of these tests by modifying shuttle distances, starting velocities, or other parameters. Also, the tests are suitable for training, which can be adjusted to the athletes needs by modifying the test parameters.
Also, using the "Utilities" function, you can register as a member to our website, free of any membership fees, and have access to several useful resources.
Beep (Bleep) Test
The test, also known as the 20 meter shuttle run test, "Beep" or "Bleep" test, is typically used to determine maximal running aerobic capacity. It consists in running shuttles between two lines 20m apart, at a given speed. After a predetermined number of shuttle runs, the speed is incremented (for a new level) in accordance to an established increment period. Each level takes close to one minute of running time. The test ends when the athlete can no longer complete the shuttle runs within the established time period. Based on the final achieved speed, an estimate is made of the V̇O2 max.
Yo-Yo Intermittent Test
The Yo-Yo Intermittent Fitness Test is a variation of the 20 meter beep test. It uses 40m shuttles and incorporates a recovery period after each 40m shuttle run. Typically is used for maximal running aerobic fitness test of players in soccer, basketball and other team sports.
It consists in running at a given speed to a line (20m away), turn around and return. This is one shuttle. After each shuttle is completed, hold for a given recovery period. After a determined number of shuttle runs, the speed is incremented in accordance to an established sequence. The test ends when the athlete can no longer complete the shuttle runs within the established time period. Based on the final achieved speed, an estimate is made of the V̇O2 max.
Treadmill Test
The treadmill test is modified version of the 20 meter Beep test. It consists in running for a 60 seconds at a given speed. Then, the speed is incremented (for a new level) in accordance to an established increment period. The test ends when the athlete can no longer complete the level within the established time period. Based on the final achieved speed, an estimate is made of the V̇O2 max.
