The test was prepared for the U.S. military, drafted by Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968. Suitable for the performance of large masses. The test takes the test as far as possible in 12 minutes.

 

 

   Between 10 to 25°C with 75% maximum humidity.

   On a standard 400 m tartan track or similar.

According to the table, the 20-year-old man is in the best condition. A forty-year-old man is roughly in the same condition as a fourteen-year-old boy. Later, a table based on the ratio calculation coefficients of 1.06 - 1.12 and 1.25 is calculated.

The table shows the 25-year-old running at a medium level of 2200 meters in Cooper's test. Similarly, an almost untrained 60-year-old or older person can run the same result. Many untrained older people have a heartbeat at rest of 37 to 47 beats per second and blood pressure levels that many young people cannot access. For these people, the table should be extended by a factor of 1.25 and they are thus of their own level.

They are able to run a half marathon 21 km without drinking and eating on the way. Also without preparing for the performance from the front. These people find it incomprehensible to run schools for a trip, refueling carbohydrates and fluid in advance, etc. Ankles and places may get sick from running cold, but this is not an unfinished place. Doctors and athletes have encountered these people I have described as their own experience.

 

For this reason, Cooper's test table should be read as indicative, which does not indicate the condition next to it by comparing the age. In the end, everything is countable, which can be presented in many ways, and the ratio calculation that means the same explains.
