The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it The length of the shuttle is 20 meters and a beep indicates when and how often you run. The paer test provides a good estimate of a persons VO2 Max.

VO2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake, peak oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity) is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise (exercise of increasing intensity).[1][2] The name is derived from V - volume, O2 - oxygen, max - maximum. Maximal oxygen consumption reflects the cardiorespiratory fitness of an individual and is an important determinant of their endurance capacity during prolonged exercise.
