Ideally you can play the sound through a sound system, or plug the computer, phone or mp3 player into speakers that are loud enough to be heard during the test. We have some information about where to get a copy of the test audio.Īudio Player: The audio playback device will depend on the format of your test recording. Measuring Tape: a tape measure of at least 20 meters is needed.Īudio File: The test requires an audio recording indicating the timing for each run, which usually comes on a cd, as an mp3 file, or on a computer or mobile device app. It is easier if you use existing lines marked on the running surface, otherwise you may want to draw a line or put down sticking tape. You should allow a least a meter width for each athlete that is doing the test.Ĭones can be used to indicate the turning and starting lines. Only 20m, plus an extra couple of meters each end, is needed for the actual test. The Area: an area up to 30m long (100 feet), with a flat, non-slip surface. The only thing that may vary is the width of the running area (a wider area is needed if a lot of people are being tested at once) and the number of cones required to mark out the area and turning lines. The set of equipment needed to run the beep test is essentially the same irrespective of what variation of the test is being conducted.
