Multistage Fitness Test Table
This test was developed at Loughborough University back in 1987. The Multistage Fitness Test Table allows you to interpret test results as a VO2 max score - your maximum Oxygen uptake!
What's The Point?
Developed by the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science at Loughborough University in 1987, the Multistage Fitness Test Table allows you to run shuttle tests, take the test results and convert them into a VO2 max score, the best measure of maximum oxygen uptake.

What's Being Measured Again?
Taking test results based on a specific number of shuttle runs and converting into VO2 max scores, the best measure of maximum oxygen uptake.
