beep test
Progressive aerobic assessment
The beep test is a fitness assessment measuring aerobic endurance.
Participants run back and forth between two points, keeping pace with audio beeps that get progressively faster until they can no longer keep up.
Common in schools, military training, and sports tryouts: I barely made level seven on the beep test.
Also called the shuttle run or pacer test.
