VO2max = 18.043461 + ( 0.3689295 x TS ) +( -0.000349 x TS x TS ) ( where TS is the total number of shuttles completed ). Example
You finished at Level 10 shuttle 5 .
From the table determine the number of shuttles for the level you reached . In this example , Level 10 is 95 shuttles .
Your total number of shuttles ( TS ) is 95 + 5 = 100 You can then calculate your VO2max as follows :
• VO2max = 18.043461 + ( 0.3689295 x 100 ) +( -0.000349 x 100 x 100 ).
• VO2max = 48.114 mls / kg / min (± 0.3 mls / kg / min ).
Normative data for MSFT The following are national team scores for the MSFT ( see table , below ).
Target group
This test is suitable for endurance athletes and players of endurance sports ( eg football , rugby ) but not for individuals where the test would be contraindicated . A degree of caution is required in administering the test , in that you have to push yourself relatively hard to the point where you can no longer maintain the pace dictated by the tape . If you are suffering from any injury or illness , or if you have any reason to think you may not be in a good general state of health , you should consult a doctor before doing this test .
