FAQsFAQ: The Balke Test
You can evaluate your Cooper test results here.
How is the Cooper test conducted?
On a windless day, the athlete runs on an athletics track for 12 minutes. The objective is to run as far as possible in the time available. In general, this is achieved by running at a broadly constant pace; though the runner may be advised to start hard and finish up running as hard as possible.
How are the results evaluated?
The Cooper test page on this website interprets the results using three different formulae.
The Cooper formula is:
VO2 max = (Distance in metres - 504.9) / 44.73
It is also possible to use the formula relating VO2 max to distance and
speed proposed by Daniels and Gilbert to estimate VO2 max from the results
of the Balke Test:
VO2 Max=(-4.60 + 0.182258 * velocity + 0.000104 * velocity^2)/(0.8 + 0.1894393
* e^(-0.012778 * time) + 0.2989558 * e^(-0.1932605 * time)) [where velocity is
in metres per minute; and time in minutes]
