That's not a measurement.

the Man U test at level 25 is 2500 yards (25 X 100 yards as the slow jog back is recovery time). The Beep test is 20 X 2 PER LEVEL or 2240 yards with only 10 seconds of recovery time. The recovery time is only 10 seconds per level. Pretty tough if you ask me.
For you engineers!

Tell that to Dr Jens Bangsbo who came up with the calculations.
A calculation is not a measurement.

so his calculation (formula) doesn't measure an individual's VO2 max?
Your post asks how do you measure VO2. I replied by using his calculated formula. Plug in the results and you should get the measurement.

Santa Clara, Pepperdine and BYU aren't nearly as good as Stanford, UCLA and SC/Cal/Utah?Colorado etc. Stanford outshot Santa Clara 31-8 in that double overtime loss. Honestly Stanford had a couple easy goals that they just couldn't put away. They beat them earlier in the season. Santa Clara did upset the national champions last year but they also lost to the Washington schools.
This season you are going to get your chance to find out. Santa Clara plays Cal, $C, UCLA and Stanford. BYU plays UCLA, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. Pepperdine has an easy schedule this year but still plays UCLA on the road.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that the WCC gets 1 win out of all of those games and it will be BYU over Arizona. The WCC is strong but the Pac 12 was the #1 conference last year and will be either #1 or #2 this year.
Try not to take the bait, espola will be happy to turn this thread into some lame semantics battle.
Yeah, what is up with that? Virginia Tech is no slouch but the schedule does not seem as tough as it could be. USF seems to have a tougher pre-season!

My guess is that since TW has a very good squad this year he wants to keep his preseason record as pristine as possible. They could easily go 18-1 or 17-2 going into the postseason and I think that he realizes that havign a record like that could mean the difference between getting a home game in the first round vs having to go play some Big Ten or SEC school on the road or worse having to play Stanford/UCLA or some other West Coast power on the road in the second round.
The clearest way to measure VO2 is to take a blood sample, or to use a clip-on oximeter, that measures the color of blood close to the skin. The clip-on is not as accurate as a blood sample, but it is more convenient and less intrusive. "Plugging into a formula" gives an estimate for the average of individuals who were accurately measured in the past.
The Waves have Traditionally played tough schedules. This seasons looks like the easiest they've had in awhile, on paper, but the past three seasons have been brutal. Still can't look past any D-1 opponent, as they all have the capability to bite you in the ass.
I will say that Pep does have some tough conference road games this year in Provo and Santa Clara.
Both teams they played home last season.

On any given day a bunker and a PK/DK or a bunker and a counter-attack goal or a bunker and a keeper error can beat a heavily favored team. Ask Stanford....

Sure it's the clearest way, but it's the more expensive way also. A digital wrist watch tells time and so does a Rolex...difference, one is more expensive.
They're both good tests.
It just needs to be clarified that a 25 on the Man U and a 56 on the beep are both well above average.
The way I have seen the beep test run is as a competition. The whole team lines up and shuttles back and forth between the two target lines. The coaches keep track of who missed which beep cycle, calling out those who couldn't keep up. When they got down to three runners left, they stopped the test. It was the three that everyone knew already were the quickest and best conditioned on the team. And there was no one there with any medical or biological training beyond what is needed to get a USSF A coaching license.
The coaches wrote down the numbers on a form, which was then filed away and never again consulted.

so? A soccer coach not applying the V02 equation doesn't discredit Jens Bangsbro's calculation to measure VO2 max. Did you come up with an equation discrediting him? If you did brilliant, publish a research paper for it.

Curious E... have you ever been tested for your V02 max? Or are you just Googling this info..
In case you haven't noticed, VO2 Max is different from Vo2, for which I have been tested.
What do you have against google? Are you in favor of voluntary ignorance?
