Am i Not Fit?

Marcus sent me an email regarding my bleep test results 3days ago.

"Congratulations!Here are the Results of your ‘Multistage Fitness Test’ Score

(Level) = 10.5

Vo2 Max = 48.3"

It was just a little bit lower that the first time i did in november last year.

This time, i would not go like the first time "what the heck, what is Vo2 Max=48.3, good or bad arh?"

Vo2 Max is the maximal capacity of an individual's body to take up and utilize oxygen during excessive exercise. The main purpose for bleep test is to measure one's Vo2 Max. In short, it is a test to measure one's fitness.

Again, i looked at the same chart to explain my fitness level as before..

Looking at the table, my result was found in the excellent column again for this time. Wahahhahahaha. The one hour of futsal session is just not enough to kill me! :P

However, what i achieved right now is just not enough. I dont feel that im fit at all. I got tired of running during futsal session way before ky and uncle lim. My baby is still there. I need to work harder to get rid of it before summer!!!!

I love running. Back in malaysia, my family and i, or with my IMU running kakis, we always go for running events.

You can see how much we love our country lorh.


OPPSSss!

So, Are you FOR or AGAINST abortion

of my baby (2months old fat tummy)?

I did bleep test again

Looking at my previous bleep test result back in november last year, my performance drop 0.1 level today. They cannnot be compared directly as i need to consider too many factors.

Firstly, i trained by jogging around JBC several times before the real bleep test the first time. But today, it was totally a surprised test for me!

Next door housemates and i woke up early just to play futsal. This was the first time i played futsal here in glasgow.

Only 8 of us turned up this morning, and 1 hour was definitely enough for us to enjoy the game. The final score was 7 - 5, with edmond being the top scorer.

After the game, i saw the notice on bleep test. Before we left the sport center, I went to register my name at the reception only to find out that the bleep test will be commenced at 12noon, which menas i have only 45 mins left.

To go or Not-to-go?

In the end, i chose to go for it, since they only have it once every 3months.

What is bleep test? How does it works?

It is a fitness test, which is used by sports coaches and trainers to estimate an athlete's VO2 max (maximum oxygen uptake). It is also known as mutistages fitness test, beep test or pacer test.


It was stated on wikipedia and accepted worldwide that :

The minimum level required for Royal Air Force Officers is 9.2, Army officers at selection is 10.2, and Royal Marine Officers at least 11.0.

And as far as i know, in Malaysia, many sport players (including Taekwondo, Badminton, Football) playing for the national team require a bleep test fitness level of at least 10.0 for Male player and 8.0 for Female player.


This is how it looks like, i recorded it at level 11.0

All getting ready to start the test...

I paired with an athlete from strathclyde uni. He is Pat, a cross country runner.

I reached level 10.5 today. Out of my surprise, it was just 0.1 level lower than my previous test. If i knew earlier, i would have push myself to higher level today. ISHHH!!!!

Im dead tired. Officially G.G.
