Cooper Run Test!

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 your fitness (see table below). Try to run in a constant speed. If you get too tired, slow down or walk for a while.

Who can do the test?
The Cooper Test is only recommended for trained persons because it demands your maximum effort.
If you are not fit, don’t run the test.

A stopwatch is required for ensuring that the individual runs for the correct amount of time. Here are some factors to keep in mind when performing the Cooper 12-minute run test:

Distance: Record the total number of kilometers you traveled in 12 minutes.
Equipment: You’ll need a timer to know when 12 minutes are up. Note that some running watches and fitness monitors have a 12-minute fitness test mode.
Location: This test is designed to be conducted on a track with clearly marked distance. You can perform the test on a treadmill, but be sure to raise the incline to one degree to simulate outdoor running.
Safety: This is a strenuous fitness test and it’s recommended that you have your physician’s clearance before performing this test on your own.
Speed: When you are warmed up, get going. Run as far as you can in 12 minutes.
Warm-up: Perform a short warm-up of 10 to 15 minutes of low to moderately strenuous activity before performing any fitness testing.
