The time for each 20-metre sectionĬan be estimated from the following equation: The starting speed is 8.5km/hr and increases byĠ.5km/hr at each level. On the tape/CD, a single beep indicates the end of a shuttle and three beeps indicate the next level's start. Each level comprises a series of 20m shuttle runs where the starting speed is 8.5km/hr and increases by 0.5km/hr at each level. The test is made up of 23 levels, where each level lasts approximately one minute. The following tables are adapted from Bizley et al.

VO 2 max (mL/kg/min) = 0.38 x total number of shuttles completed + 25.98įor an analysis of your VO 2 max score, see the VO 2 max normative data tables.

To calculate VO2 max using the MSFT, the following equation was determined by Kilding et al.(2006) in their research with 26 elite, male, intermittent sports athletes. Table values, the calculator result can be in error by up to ± 0.3Įnter the Level and Shuttle you achieved in the MSF test and Please note that, when compared to the MSF The calculator below will provide you with an estimate of your The athlete's maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) can be determinedįrom the MSF Table using the Level and Shuttle

The assistant records the level and number of shuttles completed at that level by the athlete when they are withdrawn.

Regain the required pace before being withdrawn

If the athlete fails to reach the end of the shuttleīefore the beep, they should be allowed 2 or 3 further shuttles to attempt to.

The beep, the athlete must wait for the beep and then resume running

If the athlete arrives at the end of a shuttle before.

The assistant starts the CD, and the athlete commences the test.

The assistant measures out a 20-metre section and marks each end with.The athlete must place one foot on or beyond the 20m marker at the end of each shuttle. This test requires the athlete to run 20m in time with a beep from a CD recording. The Multi-Stage Fitness Test audiotape or CD.Nature of the sport but, due to the short sharp turns, it is perhaps not suitable for This test is perfect for games players as it is specific to the The development of the athlete's maximum oxygen uptake ( VO 2 max). The objective of the Multi-Stage Fitness Test (MSFT), developed by Leger & Lambert (1982), is to monitor

In the analysis, we need to bear in mind the factors that may influence the results. Upon which subsequent performance evaluations andĭecisions are made. Testing and measurement are the means of collecting information
