See the contrasting styles on how to perform the beep test. I am not sure if the test procedures allow for such sweeping turns, but I would think that it would be more energy consuming than the straight up and down guy. It does not look like 20m, maybe they are doing a 15m version.

Interval Shuttle Run Test
October 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Shuttle Runs
This group of athletes are doing what they call the Interval Shuttle Run Test. The test looks like a variation of the beep test, similar to the Yo-Yo test. Notice the markers a couple of meters before the turning line, which is used to indicate the area which they must be in when it beeps otherwise they get a failure warning. At one point the players stop for 15 seconds, while the Yo-Yo Test has recovery times of 5 or 10 seconds.

These guys are obviously not taking their fitness test too seriously. An interview in French, with both the interviewer and interviewee running the beep test. I don’t understand French, so I have no idea what is being said.

Another example of the Harvard Step test in a school classroom, unfortunately (unless you speak the language) the explanation is in Spanish or something like that. There is a lot of talking and not much action.

The treadmill VO2max test is the criterion measure of aerobic power for runners. Here is a treadmill VO2max test conducted by a guy named Joseph, reaching a score of 64 ml/kg/min (5.3 L/min). You can see that quite a significant gradient is being used, and it gets pretty tough at the end.

A cycle ergometer VO2 max test demonstration, going through all the steps required to set up and conduct the test. This method is using a manual method of collecting the expired gases, rather than using a ventilometer to measure the expired air volume and automated systems to collect samples of the expired air.
