The beep test is widely accepted as a reliable and standardized cardiovascular endurance test. The target of the beep test is that the participants stay in the test as long as possible until they cannot reach the finish line with two consecutive beeps or stop the test voluntarily due to exhaustion. The longer the participant stays in the test, the faster they will have to run, the greater the cumulative distance they will cover and the higher the level (score) they will achieve. As there is approximately one minute per level, and the required running distance remains constant (20 meters) throughout the beep test, the time between audible beeps reduces with each level, requiring the participant to run faster to maintain the required rhythm set by the audio. The number of shuttles required per level increases as the beep test progresses. Commutes can be measured by the number of times the participant must run back and forth between endpoints within a given level. There are 21 Niveles in total and each level contains shuttles. The Couse Navette Test can be divided into levels and shuttles. In addition, one must also appreciate that there are many different variations of the beep test, but the most commonly used protocol is to start with an initial speed of 8,5 km/h, before increasing the speed by 0,5 km/h every minute. This factor must be taken into account before the initial sound signal, since knowing when it is time helps to determine the estimated speed and the total duration of the test. These beep test levels typically go up to 23 and last 1-2 minutes each, depending on the variation of the test we run. At the beginning of a new level, the required running speed increases. At the end of a level, a triple beep will sound to indicate that a new level is starting. The duration of each level is approximately one minute. The speed that the participants must maintain remains constant throughout the “level”. The re-sounding tone indicates that participants should return to the opposite end point. This indicates to participants that the test has started, at which point participants will run to the opposite 20 meter end point and arrive there at the latest when the tone sounds again. The beep test begins with an audio tone of " triple beep«.
The required running speed or pace increases as the test progresses. Participants must maintain a running speed determined by a preset audio tone, which sounds like a "beep", throughout the test.
The beep test requires participants to run back and forth between two points located 20 meters away. It is presented as a way to determine a person's aerobic capacity (VO2max). It is a multi-stage fitness test, developed by Professor Luc A Leger of the University of Montreal in Canada in the 1970s. The Course Navette Test has other better known names such as the Beep Test or the beep test.
