20 meter progressively harder shuttle run.   The multi-stage fitness test, also known as the PACER test or PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run), the 20 m Shuttle Run Test (20 m SRT), or the beep test, is a running test used to estimate an athlete's aerobic capacity VO2 max. In the test, athletes must run from one line to another before a timed beep. Athletes must continue running back and forth, each time reaching the line before the next beep. Once one can no longer run, the test is over and the number of laps is recorded. As the test continues, the time between beeps gets shorter. Note the score in total nr of shuttles completed. Typically you or an assistant would log the completed difficulty level + the nr of shuttles performed on that level. Example: L10 + 5. Then you would get 88 total shuttles completed from the conversion table.  If done in a group setting the coach can put a mark on the level in a printed conversion table and shout out the total nr of shuttles performed.
