I'm an endurance runner. I van run upwards or 60 minutes without stopping. But on the beep test I never score higher than 4. And then my PE teachers come up to me and tell me I should start doing cardio and what about running

This test sucks, I have ran it for 4 years and it leaves me gasping for air like a fish out of water

I can attest to this, as after doing the beep test, I now have panic attacks when I see sport at all on my time table, and my friends have to calm me down out of my tears!

I saw children faint from this test. When I finished, I felt light headed and had a hard time breathing. I felt sick and I didn't have energy for my other classes.

When I was in grade 9 gym I had just finished the beep test and my vision went blurry and I was very light headed, my teacher then asked me what was wrong and when I told her she said If you can talk you should have done better. This test is just like standardized testing, some people cannot run long distances but that doesn't mean they are out of shape. If we need to stop standardized written tests, then we need to stop standardized physical tests.

This test can not be banned soon enough. This test is super challenging and I have collapsed from lack of breath along with 15 others.

Signs have shown that the beep test is a high factor of ptsd in students.

We do this at school every year. Except I will no longer have to do it as I dropped sport. I know in America you guys might call it something different than what we do, but it's the same test and does not fairly test the ability of each student as they are forced to run at a higher speed each time to make it to the line 20 metres from where they previously were.

So, we have to do team pacers at my school. In normal pacers, you can at least quit whenever you want. In team pacers, you HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING.
