Pusser said:Whereas the beep test is more of a measure of how fast you can run 20 m.
Not true. That's why each 20 meters is timed. The shuttle run is to estimate VO2 max. Unlike the 1.5 mile run we used to do, where you could run your butt off for the first half and then practically walk the rest and still make it under the time. This did not estimate VO2 max accurately.
Mind you, the shuttle run is an indirect test, which is why it's only an estimate.
