10.5.2 Cooper test
This test was developed by the American Dr. Kenneth Cooper. After a good warm-up, the person taking the
test must run as far as possible in 12 minutes. It is important to run at a steady pace. For this reason, on the
EN-Motion the Cooper test is carried out with automatic speed adjustment (Autospeed). The Cooper test is a
reasonably strenuous exertion test and is not suitable for people in poor health. The person must cool down
properly at the end of the test. The distance run is compared against standard values (see the tables below).
