The American doctor Dr. Kenneth Cooper has
developed this test. After a good warming-up you run on a track (or a
piece way, where a helper measures the distance) in 12 minutes as many
meters as possible. Try to run in a gradual
speed. Because this is a heavy effort test this test
is not suitable for people with a bad health.
Do not forget to do after the test a
good cooling-down. Condition table for adults
