What is the Beep Test?

The Beep Test, also known as the shuttle run test or the multi-stage fitness test, is a physical fitness test used to measure cardiorespiratory endurance. It involves running back and forth between two points, keeping pace with a series of beeps that increase in speed over time. Contextually, it’s used in various settings, from school physical education classes to professional athlete training. Examples include its use in assessing the fitness of military recruits, soccer players, or even in general fitness evaluations.
