The beep test is where you place pylons 20 metres apart and run between them. You must touch each pylon at the recorded beep. The beeps gets faster as you progress.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beep_test It's used as a measure of endurance and fitness. More than FIBA uses it - many armies, police/fire services, etc....

As someone with a hearing loss and who has worked with others with a hearing loss, I'm thinking there has to be a light or something to accomodate for the beep. I'm not seeing anything in the article about that. Anyone know if this is the case? Thanks. |

beep
I've used the beep test in PE classes that I teach before, it's a great test. Sorry Welsh there is no light. This Wikipedia article listed looks spot on.
I also coach CC and have used it with my runners. As you progress through the levels it moves past an endurance test to a speed test. I am in pretty good shape and can run for quite a while-but at the higher levels of this test you might have the endurance to keep jogging at a comfortable pace for miles on end-but if you don't have the foot speed to keep up this test will spit you out.

ok...
The test is a recorded cd/tape with programmed ''beeps''. You will start on the beep, then you must run to the other line which is 20 meters away and step on the line on the secound beep, and so on. The test will go faster and faster. The FIBA test have 3 ''steps'' tha you must clear, every step will go faster than the other. So... After 86 laps you are finnished( i did 87: ![]() |

The beep test is kind of fun (if you like running tests); IMO, it's not nearly as tiring/hard as many speed workouts that runners do. |

The Beep test that you linked, I don't think it is the same as the ''FIBA Beep Test''
I have't run this on the link but the FIBA test i have. I can say that you have to run 86 laps to complete the test and it is 3 grades between lap 1 and 86. So if you run 86 laps you have run like 1700 meters. I have count :P so first speed is: 1: 20 meters for 8 sec 2: 20 meters for 7 sec 3: 20 meters for 6 sec but it is not so simple as it sounds:P Last edited by Snap; Tue Oct 30, 2007 at 04:47pm. |

Years ago, when the beep test was introduced, you also had to run 3 suicides within 5 minutes with a minute break in between. The suicides have now been deleted I believe due to legal reasons. Having done both, it is quite hard to do.
