Beep Test Conversion to VO2max

Here is a table showing each 20m shuttle of the beep test with the VO_2max estimation for that level. The calculation for VO_2max is based on the formula by Flouris et al. (2005) which is based on the running speed of the final level. As you can see, using this method, the estimated VO_2max is the same for each level, irrespective of the number of shuttles completed for that level. If you need to convert the beep test score to a distance measure, or convert to VO2max, we have a couple of Calculators.
