Multi-stage fitness test

The meep test, also known as the PACER test or PACER (Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run), the 20 m Shuttle Run Test (20 m SRT), or the multi-stage fitness test (MSFT), is a running test used to estimate an athlete's aerobic capacity (VO2 max). The test requires participants to run 20 meters back and forth across a marked track keeping time with beeps. Every minute or so, the next level commences: the time between beeps gets shorter; participants must run faster. If a participant fails to reach the relevant marker in time, they are cautioned. A second caution ends the test for that runner. The number of shuttles completed successfully is recorded as the score of that runner. The score is recorded in Level.Shuttles format (e.g. 9.5).
The test is used by sporting organizations around the world along with schools, the military, and others interested in gauging cardiovascular endurance, an important component of overall physical fitness.[1] The multi-stage fitness test is also part of most health-related fitness test batteries for children and adolescents, such as Eurofit,[2] Alpha-fit,[3] FitnessGram[4][5] and ASSOFTB.[6]
The multi-stage fitness test was first described by Luc Léger[7] with the original 1-minute protocol, which starts at a speed of 8.5 km/h, and increases by 0.5 km/h each minute. Other variations of the test have also been developed, where the protocol starts at a speed of 8.0 km/h and with either 1 or 2-minute stages, but the original protocol is nevertheless recommended.[8] The test appears to encourage maximal effort by children. Additionally, the test's prediction of aerobic capacity is valid for most individuals, including those who are overweight or obese.[9]

Procedure[edit]
Prior to the test commencing, runners line up at the 0m marker, facing the 20m marker. Following a countdown, a double beep or voice cue signals the start.
Runners commence running towards the 20m marker
At or before the following beep, runners must reach the 20m marker. Touching with a single foot is acceptable
At or after, but not before, the same beep, runners commence running back to the 0m marker
At or before the next beep,
Estimating VO2 max[edit]
VO2 max, or milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body mass per minute (e.g., mL/(kg·min)), is considered an excellent proxy for aerobic fitness.[10] Attempts have been made to correlate MSFT scores with VO2 max. One such formula is below:
{\displaystyle VO{2}max=(Velocity{in\ km/h}\times 6.55-35.8)}

The introductory explanation of one multi-stage fitness test, the FitnessGram PACER test, has been widely spread as a copypasta, meme and in other comedic ways due to the test's modern use in schools, primarily in physical education classes.[25]
"The FitnessGram™ PACER Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20-meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start."

@BuiltBionixInd10 this aircraft was well known to me for having a particularly slow stall speed. But at 200 kg wing loading, it would be hard to get under 200 kph without stalling. So I added that thing you mentioned.
I am kinda talented at school work, as in I can finish my work with relative ease. Unfortunately, I have been cursed with laziness. So I am always procrastinating and catching up, leaving me stressed and little free time.

@WiiMini i know
i mean serously Coronavirus, fires, crashes, locust swarms, us running out of names on the hurricane naming list, a miscalculation on the end of day accourding to the Mayans, moving it from 2012 to 2020. at this point i won't even be surprised of the events of doom happen.
@Viridi after the third (and presumably final) photo is taken, the take photo button still remains active, albeit for a small fraction of a second.
if you can click the button fast enough so it cannot go inactive, you can take a 4th photo, and this is repeatable.
currently, I can only do 5 photos max, but there was a post I saw with more than 10 photos.

@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook i mean serously my phone will become the next supernova if i even try to download this
NFSMW
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook ya mean processing power?
do the roar
@BuiltBionixInd10 no, it was the psuedo-gerwalk mode?
We should make lyrics like we did revenge
@BuiltBionixInd10 this aircraft was well known to me for having a particularly slow stall speed. But at 200 kg wing loading, it would be hard to get under 200 kph without stalling. So I added that thing you mentioned.
@MobileFriendly1664 thanks.
Nice
@Viridi
@AndrePlaysSP
Here we have the second aircraft I've been working on.
make that
+2@SpenzeroInternational ok nice.
edit: so I got recommended THIS after your video. i have arachnophobia, so that didn't help
@SpenzeroInternational how...how did it end?
+1@SpenzeroInternational i can see ya took flight at the end
+1I am kinda talented at school work, as in I can finish my work with relative ease. Unfortunately, I have been cursed with laziness. So I am always procrastinating and catching up, leaving me stressed and little free time.
You and me both haha.
+5why did you crash my car
+3I wanted to see how a Mercedes Benz
@KnightOfRen i already found it 5 minutes after this was posted
the back half is from sleddriver's sentinel
I KNOW THE RAPTOR'S IN THERE.
AND I'M GONNA FIND IT!!!
embrace it

+1@Viridi after the third (and presumably final) photo is taken, the take photo button still remains active, albeit for a small fraction of a second.
if you can click the button fast enough so it cannot go inactive, you can take a 4th photo, and this is repeatable.
currently, I can only do 5 photos max, but there was a post I saw with more than 10 photos.
@Viridi thanks
