Beep Test Records
The beep or bleep test, or more correctly known as the Multistage Shuttle Run Test, is a test of aerobic (endurance) fitness that is conducted regularly for many team sports and schools. The test involves running between two markers 20 meters apart (see test details). There are several versions of the test, so comparisons between test scores is somewhat difficult.
There are some unconfirmed rumors that some athletes such as David Beckham (football/soccer), Lance Armstrong (cycling) and Neil Back (England rugby player), have completed the test, which is 23 levels on the commonly used version.
As this is a field test of endurance that is often used to test large groups, the best endurance athletes in the world would probably not have even tried the test. If they had, there would more likely be many athletes who can reach the maximum score. High level endurance athletes would more likely perform a VO2max test to measure their aerobic fitness.
