- The Bleep test is used by organisations around the world, including schools, the military, the police, and other groups interested in testing physical fitness. The main advantage of a Bleep Test is that it can be done by lots of people at once. But what is it, and is it reliable? We put our presenters to the test!

James juggling cones in the background 😂
Hand and eye coordination test 🧐
For some reason that was so funny 🤣
he stole the show :-)
Wait, there's a physical fitness test for police officers in other parts of the world? All the ones here in Florida look like Chief Wiggum from The Simpson's and I'm not sure they could complete a single shuttle.
In Canada the fitness test pretty gruelling
😂😂
😂😂
I have ADHD and james was the only thing i could concentrate on while he was juggling 😂😂
James is constantly becoming one of my favorite GTN presenters. Heather will always have a special place in my heart, but James is definitely top three in my book!
You guys did do the test on wet grass, that probably hurt the estimated VO2-max quite a bit. Asphalt, track or indoor concrete is usually a better surface for this test.
I cannot be only one who has traumatic memories of the bleep test from school with a simultaneous curious about they would fair since they took up sport
Do you think the surface played any part? If the ground is absorbing energy more than the treadmill then it might explain some of the consistent deviation among the 3 participants
Great tips honestly. There is also an e book called Mastering the 20m beep test which helped me significantly. There is a 7 week workout plan to help you prepare for the beep test. I've recommended 'Mastering the 20m Beep Test' to all my friends who are prepping for fitness assessments. The workout plan is tough but effective-I've never felt more prepared!
Nice skills with the conesJames. This test reminds me of the FTP ramp test. you feel like you are going easy having a laugh and all of the sudden you are dying 😂
It would be great if the three of you tried the Polar Global Fitness Test. You wear the H10 strap and lay back for 5m. It takes RHR as well as HRV and some other metrics into equation.
Since you already know your V02 Max, it'd be great to see just how accurate or innacurate the Polar test is. The number given is supposed to be equal to your V02 Max.
Beep Test and the 2.4 km Run are my go-to tests for a quick idea of my approximate level of fitness. Heard some Olympians and Tour de France pros can complete all 23 levels of it!
Even if I skip to level 20 I can’t keep up for more than a few rounds. The speed and acceleration is crazy.
VO2Max needs to be combined with Running Economy (RE) to quantify running performance as VO2Max is like how much fuel you can use per unit body weight but RE accounts for how your muscle fiber composition, running form etc. use that fuel, ie a high VO2Max alone could well be like a gas guzzling SUV, not necessarily faster or more enduring.
Great video as always guys, thanks!
Very interesting test and comparison. It is more accurate that I imagined. Super helpful to have a simple method to gage my fitness level in a relatively reliable way. Thanks for such an informative video!
Thanks for this one. Well conducted experiment and really interesting results.
James' speaking is so much better with his co-hosts on screen with him. Keep him off the cuff.
I understand the desire to have bragging rights over your mates and therefore wanting to have the highest VO2 max, but does it impact on your training, either within a training session or when planning training?
Them talking about fitness and im just watching the guy juggling the cones
Great video. Next you could compare the lab results with the results you get from your Garmin and other wearables.
I’d love to know how these VO2 scores compare to the estimated VO2 score on your watch!
the guy juggling in the background tho lol
We did this at my middle school and it was pretty hype tbh
Great data-driven comparison . Well done
Do the Cooper Test next!
Good juggling James! Taking the .iss out of what the tech again
A bit different to the beep test I did in highschool. the pacing started out slower, by like lvl 5 you would start jogging, our teacher told us if you hit level 20 your a professional athlete.
Brilliant info!!! Nice music also on bleep test
Glad you liked it!
V informative
Wondering how accurate my Garmin 945 registration of my VO2 max might be compared to the lab? It registered a video to Max for me after competing in a 15 K about two weeks ago.
It's good thing that juggling is not on the Australian Special Forces Test. James would have washed out. On a more serious note, ya'll bring up a very good point. As triathletes, we spend nearly 100% of our time doing sagittal motions. It would probably be useful, and help our overall fitness, in both life and triathlon, if we were to substitute some of that straight line running and swimming for the occasional diversion into soccer, tennis, or some other sports that forces us to move laterally a lot. That is a good experiment. For a couple of months, switch out a tempo run for 90 minutes of soccer, playing as a midfielder, not as the keeper.
I’ve seen this test on the track, where you don’t have to stop and turn around for the next 20 m. This makes a huge difference. I don’t know whether this is the proper way or a cheat, can someone clarify?
It’s cheating
Have you guys heard of the Yo Yo Fitness Test, similar concept with a slightly different execution. Would love to see a similar video covering it.
Any tips on how to improve your bleep test score?
I'll be going into the RAF in the new year and I need to pass the bleep test at the start of recruit training, need to get lvl 8.9 but best I've achieved so far is 7.1 (tested yesterday/Saturday in fact).
Thx im going to have it on my soccer❤❤
I was first introduced to the bleep test at school... Its followed me like a spectre the rest of my life popping up now and then to remind it is was real 😅
How measure VO2 max by counting lap ? Is there any formula ?
Since you have fresh results, let us know how it compares to your watches estimates 😁
It might be a good test if people are motivated.
However when I was 14 years old we had a bleep test in school and most people couldn't be bothered to try hard. I had had a serious neck injury 6 months before hand including spinal surgery and for the 6 months before this bleep test I wasn't allowed to do any exercise at all, without any exceptions the bleep test was the very first exercise in 6 months. I was joint 1st in my class of 30 children, which could not be an accurate result because all the other kids would go out and play football at lunch and I wasn't allowed to do that with my neck injury.
So in schools it's a complete waste of time, because the kids just can't be bothered to push themselves.
Really interesting and funny video! Love the vibe!
"love the vibe"? Is this a standard comment you're dropping at every video you're coming across?
@@frederickbenny i am a Bot. Biep Bop Biep. Love the vibe! Thanks for taking a few seconds out of your day to write a comment to my comment. Can you elaborate what gave away that i am a bot and write this standard comment under every video i come across? With James juggling in the background and also the premiere of these 3 presenters in one videofor me it was defenitly not a good vibe at all so that's probably what gave me away...
lol at level11 i thought Heather is a profession and had to google what it is
What is bleep test? Hell.
Now i want to juggle
How does age play a part? Younger vs older?
Yeah the bleep test looks like it tests agility, not a vo2 max duration effort.
Prison service 5.4 on a 15 m course!
HOw does the test know if you reach the cone or not?
yeah, I like these ones where you run and you are not asking me to go kill myself :) Cheers.
Getting video ideas from TikTok?
How much cm is the first cone to the second cone
in the past James had to juggle with training and life commitments, nowadays he has joined the circus that is the UK and is juggling to become a more active member 🤣🤣
Beep test is perfect for first dates.
This is really interesting. I think the assumption is often that anything outside the lab isn't reliable but I don't think that's always true. I know that Garmin's V02 max estimate has been found to be within 95% of lab-based results.
Wait for police entry it's 5.4... That's ridiculously low
It can be somewhat difficult for women, super easy for men though.
@@Tibovl it's difficult for everyone no free lunch with a bleep test you go til you can't go anymore
First
Beep test? The Cooper test? I mean the guy's old, but he is still around and should still have his name connected to his work. Right? I mean I wouldn't say The Christmas Story About Ghosts and Scrooge, but would reference the developer (author in this case). Dickens. Endurance athletics are a thing, including the possibility for this TH-cam channel making money, because of the work of those elders of the global community, including Kenneth Cooper.
The Cooper Test and the Beep test are similar but not exactly the same thing. The Cooper test is based on a 12 minute time, the Beep Test doesn't have an upper limit.
Thanks for the comment, but the bleep test and Cooper Test are different. We always look to credit where possible
@@markthrelfall3577 hi Mark, what are the trousers you were both wearing after the lab? They look super cool!
Luc Leger invented it
Juggling is pretty cool!
