Fitness: Cooper test
The Cooper test is a test of physical fitness. It was designed by Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968 for US military use.
In the original form, the point of the test is to run as far as possible within 12 minutes.
- The test is meant to measure the condition of the person taking it and therefore it is supposed to be run at a steady pace instead of sprints and fast running.
- The outcome is based on the distance the test person ran, their age and their sex.
- The results can be correlated with VO2 Max.
