Body in Motion
2. A cardio Respiratory endurance | Beep Test (V02) | Rating | 12 min Run (VO2) | Rating | My Score | 8.4 (41.1) | Fair | 2040 (35.7) | Very Poor | Class Average | 6.3 (36.9) | Poor | 1793 (31.9) | Very Poor | When I was doing the Beep test achieved the level 8 and shuttle 4 which gave a VO2 of 41.1. The reason I could not push on further is because I got a dry throat and badly needed a drink. I also accumulated lactic acid into my thigh and calf muscles around level 7.6 and at 8.4 I decided to stop. I achieved the rating of fair which was above the class average of poor. I was fairly happy with the result as I only train for swimming on the summer months and hardly do so in the winter months.
In the 12 minute run I fatigued about half way through but jogged most of the way. I placed about fourth in the class with 2040 metres and a VO2 of 35.7. This gave a rating of very poor which I found incredibly harsh because only two people in the class got above this rating who are very fit.

My BMI was lower than the class average of 21 which rated as healthy. I rarely put on weight as my metabolism is very high. In the skinfold test I got 15.7% which rated as acceptable. The class average was. The skinfold is hard to comment on because you can’t really change that about someone. The morning was cold which means people’s skin will be different to if it were a hot day.
