The aim of this test is to run as far as

possible in exactly 12 minutes. The distance
covered will then give a rough estimate of
students condition (see reference table).
They will need encouragement to try and
run at constant speed. (possibley use
whilste blows every 30 sec / 1min for pacing
purposes).
Explain If they get too tired, slow down or
walk for a while. But dont stop
Procedure:
To undertake this test you will require a 200
/ 400 metre running track - marked every
100m or a flat measured running area and a
stop watch.
The test comprises of seeing how far a
performer can run/walk in twelve minutes.
