2. THE COOPER TEST The Cooper Test Is Used To Measure A Client Aerobic Fitness And Is A Predictive Test Of A Clients Vo2max The 12-minute run fitness test was developed by Kenneth Cooper, M.D., in 1968 as an easy way to measure aerobic fitness and provide an estimate of VO2 max for military personnel. Dr. Cooper found that there is a very high correlation between the distance someone can run (or walk) in 12 minutes and their VO2 max value, which measures the efficiency with which someone can use oxygen while exercising. This test is still one of the basic fitness tests used by the military . It is also used by many coaches and trainers to determine cardiovascular fitness and track fitness over time.

3. COOPER FACTOR Cardiovascular Endurance In sports, cardiovascular endurance refers to an athlete's ability to sustain prolonged exercise for minutes, hours, or even days. Endurance testing is a way to measure the efficiency of an athlete's circulatory system and respiratory system in supplying oxygen to the working muscles and support sustained physical activity. Endurance generally refers to aerobic endurance. Aerobic exercise requires oxygen to help supply the energy needed for exercise . VO2 Max VO2 max, also known as maximal oxygen uptake, is the measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can utilize during intense exercise. VO2 max is measured in milliliters of oxygen used in one minute per kilogram of body weight (mL/kg/min). 

4. The Cooper 12 Minute Run Test The purpose This test is designed to measure a client’s aerobic fitness (the ability of their body to use oxygen pathways to produce energy while running). Equipment   required:   flat oval or running track, marking cones, recording sheets, stop watch. Procedure:  Place markers at set intervals around the track to aid in measuring the completed distance. Participants run for 12 minutes, and the total distance covered is recorded. Walking is allowed, though the participants must be encouraged to push themselves as hard as they can. Scoring:  There are several equations that can be used to estimate VO 2max  (in ml/kg/min) from the distance score (a formula for either kilometers or miles): VO 2max  = (35.97 x miles) - 11.29. VO 2max  = (22.351 x kilometers) - 11.288

5. Target population :  This test can be modified to be suitable for most personal training clients. For those who are unfit or unable to run, there are similar walking tests that can be performed.   Validity :  Cooper (1968) reported a correlation of 0.90 between direct VO2max running measures meaning this test has reasonably high validity.   Reliability: the reliability of this test would depend on the people being tested in terms of the amount of practice or experience they’ve had completing the test, their pacing strategies and their motivation level. There should be good reliability if these issues are addressed.   Advantages :  large groups can be tested at once, and it is a very cheap and simple test to perform.   Disadvantages :  practice and pacing is required, and performance on this test can be affected greatly by motivation.  Keeping track of a person’s lap number can be challenging when there are a lot of people so creating ‘pairs’ and having them count each others laps and then running the test a second time for the other person in the ‘pair’ is a good option.

6. Pre-Test Warm Up General Warm Up Procedure 5-10 minutes of light aerobic activity, such as jogging or stationary cycling. stretches to include both upper and lower body.
