The Shuttle Run or Beep / Bleep / Pacer / YoYo Test determines the maximum aerobic endurance of a player. It is a very accurate and popular fitness test and one you can do very easily now: with the Bitworks Team Beeptest software you can turn your laptop or computer into a beeptest machine!

Why use the team version of the software?

The team beep test is very accurate (200th of a second) - even compared to the mp3/CD versions you now can buy on the internet. The Team Beeptest version has the added value of easy gathering and display of the players beep test scores over the season:

• You can record the beep test scores of individual players while you run the test, when a player is "out" you only have to click the named button with to record their score to a text file database. This allows you to focus on the proper execution of the test.
• VO2 Max figures are updated on the main test screen in real time.  
• View the team fitness on a chart, see screen shots below or direct view of the players text file.
• Everything now resides on one system: your test and the results.
• With version 2.6 you can now put together your own test, specify stages, intervals and rest times.
• Print the players scores directly to give the players immediate feedback.
• Convert the player.txt file to excel and have even more freedom for further analysis (something you want to do anyway, even with using an audio version.....)
• Or of course the other way around: once you have an imported players.txt in Excel and you can easily cut and paste your players names into a text file, save it as players.txt and you are ready to test.
