stamina test

Prolonged endurance assessment

A stamina test measures endurance—how long someone can sustain physical or mental effort before exhaustion.

Athletes undergo stamina tests to assess cardiovascular fitness: The beep test is a common stamina test in schools.

The term extends to any prolonged challenge: That five-hour meeting was a real stamina test.
