20M RUN AEROBIC FITNESS CHALLENGE How many 20 metre laps can you complete in 5 minutes?
It’s the test that should be included in all medical assessments of metabolic function, particularly for people who are over weight and out of shape, those with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and people who are depressed.
For adults, the
record number of laps so far (November 2023) is 60 laps for men and 55
for women. People in poor condition will struggle to get 20 laps. The
lowest score recorded is 9 laps in 5 minutes. This makes the 20m run a
discriminating test of aerobic fitness - much more discriminating than
the beep test. SCHOOLS CLASS
CHALLENGE The 20m run challenge is open to school classes as a key feature of a program to drive 'fitness' into the frontline of physical education.
By taking part in the challenge classes will be able to see how they rank with like-minded classes throughout Australia.
The test is an
integral part of a school's fitness program with the results of the test
being included in the report card of every school student from grade 4
up. The challenge involves teachers registering their classes, at 20mrun.com then entering the average score of the class each time they do the test and then watch where the class ranks with other classes throughout Australia.
