Description
Procedure for Conducting Balke Vo2max Test
Objective The objective of the Balke VO2 max Test (Balke 1963)[1] is to monitor the development of the athlete's VO2 max.
Required Resources To undertake this test you will require: 1. 400m track 2. Stopwatch 3. Whistle 4. Assistant
How to conduct the test This test requires the athlete to run as far as possible in 15 minutes 1. The athlete warms up for 10 minutes 2. The assistant gives the command "GO", starts the stopwatch and the athlete commences the test 3. The assistant: - keeps the athlete informed of the time at the end of each 400m lap - blows the whistle after 15 minutes - records the total distance achieved in 15 minutes to the nearest 10 metres
Assessment Based on the distance achieved in the test Horwill (1992)[2] uses the following equation to calculate the athlete's VO2 max: (((Total distance covered ÷ 15) - 133) × 0.172) + 33.3
Analysis Analysis of the test result is by comparing it with the athlete's previous results for this test. It is expected that, with appropriate training between each test, the analysis would indicate an improvement in the athlete's VO2 max.
Target Group This test is suitable for endurance athletes and players of endurance sports (e.g. football, rugby) but not for individuals where the test would be contraindicated.
Reliability Test reliability refers to the degree to which a test is consistent and stable in measuring what it is intended to measure. Reliability will depend upon how strict the test is conducted and the individual's level of motivation to perform the test. The following link provides a variety of factors that may influence the results and therefore the test reliability.
Validity Test validity refers to the degree to which the test actually measures what it claims to measure and the extent to which inferences, conclusions, and decisions made on the basis of test scores are appropriate and meaningful. This test provides a means to monitor the effect of training on the athlete's physical development. There are published VO2 max tables and the correlation to actual VO2 max is high.

Edit. Dropped 1 star for no response from Dev in three years. In your video on the play store, you first provide an example of a 24 (or 25) year old male running (approximately?) 150 m in 15 minutes; he is given a rating of "Very Poor." Next, a 24 (or 25) year old female runs 2,000 m (2 km) in 15 minutes and receives only a "Poor" rating despite running ten times as far as the male... Is that correct?
