The Cooper test is a test of physical fitness. It was designed by Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968 for US military use.〔http://www.cooperaerobics.com/About-Cooper/Dr--Kenneth-Cooper.aspx〕〔http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/fitnessevalandassessment/a/12MinRun.htm〕 * In the original form, the point of the test is to run as far as possible within 12 minutes. * The test is meant to measure the condition of the person taking it and therefore it is supposed to be run at a steady pace instead of sprints and fast running. * The outcome is based on the distance the test person ran, their age and their sex. *The results can be correlated with VO2 Max. * * Formula: : where d12 is distance (in metres) covered in 12 minutes, alternatively : where d12 is distance (in miles) covered in 12 minutes, * It is an easy test to perform on larger groups. * The length of the run is considered to be that of a long distance run, since everything above 3 km is rated "long distance"—which means the runner will predominately use his/her "red", slow oxidative muscle cells. * * For comparison the 5000 meters world record of Kenenisa Bekele was performed in 12:37.35.〔http://www.iaaf.org/news/athletes/newsid=26783.html〕 This means that in 12 minutes he would reach a distance of around 4750 meters. ==Results interpretation== The following is an example of the many tables that exist for the test: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cooper test」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
