Talk:Multi-stage fitness test
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have a comment. Please bear with me if I'm not doing this correctly. I'm new to Wikipedia. My comment is as follows:-
The table of distances in the Calculations section can't be right. Each level consists of a whole number of 20m shuttles, so it's not pdfgdfgffddfge for level 1 to be 142m, level 2 to be 150m, etc. In fact, I think that level 1 consists of 7 x 20m shuttles and takes just under 60 seconds, level 2 consists of 8 x 20m shuttles and takes 64 seconds, etc.
Note that this is supported by the table further down this discussion page. At the Level 1 speed participants would complete 7.083 shuttles in 60 seconds and at the Level 2 speed participants would complete 7.5 shuttles in 60 seconds. However, a level can't include a fraction of a shuttle.
Now, what's the best way of getting this information incorporated into the main page?

It's rather unfortunate that someone spammed your message. You'll have to rewrite what you ment, I have no clue what you are asking here. Sorry!01:18, 20 December 2007 (UTC)Johanna451940 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.230.13.247 (talk)
What's the highest level obtained on the test? Has anyone made level 23? — Matt Crypto 02:31, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- By my calculations, to reach level 23 you would need to sustain an average speed of 5.28 m/s (crossing 20m in 3.789 seconds) over 300 meters (15 x 20, stop-starts not included). Not to mention the last twenty-odd minutes of exertion. Quite impressive. If I could find a precise definition of the test, that would be even better. Tzarius 05:37, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Names of those who have high scores on the test=
As for the comment about Armstrong, Beckham, et. al., reaching a 23 level, that is sheer folklore and not substantiated anywhere. Get rid of that statement, please. Goodness, the top soccer players in the world typically reach only level 16 or so. For those who care, to reach a level of 16 requires each 20m leg to be run approximately at a sprint speed of a 400m runner!
Finally, who in blazes is Danielle C.? I never heard of her.

- Unless proper citations can be found, I don't believe any of the names should be placed in the main article. I've removed them until the references can be found. Nposs 17:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
The BBC site linked at the bottom of this page quotes Rio Ferdinand as claiming Beckham can complete it. Moenaro427
- I'm a little skeptical of that BBC claim, maybe they confused the beep test with something else (ie. club specific test) or simply they counted wrong (beep test scores are often misquoted). I don't think Ferdinand and Beckham are the fittest players nor athletes around. Anyways, here's some stats from the 2006 AFL Draft and potential future star players - [1]. Compare the 3km(~2mile) time trial with the beep test. Midfielders require exceptional stamina levels. - Htra0497 02:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
About the speed of a 400m runner: The world record is 400m in 43.18 s by Michael Johnson. That's 9.26 m/s or 33.35 km/h. According to the tablet, the Multi Stage Fitness Test does not even come close to that! About top soccer players: I myself have just recently completed 14-1, a fellow of mine even 14-13. Both of us are only low regional Badminton Players. A professional should be able to do MUCH better than that! Gan Fort (talk) 11:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
