level comprises of a series of 20m shuttles. On the tape a single beep indicates the level comprises of a series of 20m shuttles. On the tape a single beep indicates the end of a shuttle and 3 beeps indicates the start of the next level. The test is end of a shuttle and 3 beeps indicates the start of the next level. The test is conducted as follows:conducted as follows:

Measure out a 20 metres section and mark each end with a marker cone Measure out a 20 metres section and mark each end with a marker cone The athlete carries out a warm up program of jogging and stretching exercises The athlete carries out a warm up program of jogging and stretching exercises

The athlete must place one foot on or beyond the 20m marker at the end of each The athlete must place one foot on or beyond the 20m marker at the end of each shuttle shuttle

If the athlete arrives at the end of a shuttle before the beep, the athlete must wait If the athlete arrives at the end of a shuttle before the beep, the athlete must wait for the beep and then resume running for the beep and then resume running
