Training for The Bleep Test

The Bleep Test has gained significance in the recent years. One of the prime reasons for such a quick and steady growth is that, it does not demand space or additional equipments. All it requires is a CD or MP3 along with 20 m space.

Apart from these reasons, The Bleep Test not only estimates an athlete’s power to perform well, but it also gives a progressive estimation of power. This progressive estimation helps in easy comparison between two athletes. It helps in breakdown of results even for elite participants. Why wouldn’t someone choose such a simple method that can give such accurate results? This has compelled many athletes to train effectively for The Bleep Test, to perform better in training.

Here are a few tips to get you trained for a successful Bleep Test outcome.

  1. Though Body Mass Index (BMI) has nothing to do with the success and failure in your Bleep Test, sometimes having an appropriate BMI value will help you succeed in the test. In addition, few organizations might require you to have perfect BMI though you might have passed the test with an improper BMI. So maintain your BMI well according to the standard chart.
  2. Cardio vascular fitness training has to be undertaken to achieve better results in The Bleep Test. As this test focuses on your cardiovascular fitness, training on this aspect will greatly improve your score. Some of such training includes swimming, cycling, boxing and rowing. These are to be included in the program while working towards improving your Bleep Test score.
  3. Learn different turning techniques and circuit techniques. Most of the excess energy and time is wasted whilst turning. By adapting a quicker way, you can perform better and save your energy for the next level.
  4. Slightly adapting the pace might give you an advantage at certain levels, but it is generally advised to maintain a consistent pace throughout The Bleep Test.
  5. A mix of Press-ups, Sit-ups and running should be practiced every week regularly. You can create a chart on how many hours you should walk and do Sit-ups amongst walking. However, this should be based on how fit you already are.
  6. The Bleep Test on a treadmill is also a good way to practice. Set the treadmill at an inclination of 1%. Set the initial velocity or speed at 8.5 kmph and then increment it 0.5 kmph at the specific time interval.

These are a few ways to train successfully to complete The Bleep Test. At the same time, over reliability on steady state aerobics training will not help in The Bleep Test.

As legs play a mighty role in The Bleep Test, special training to give resistance to your legs is essential. Just running and jogging might not be sufficient to train the legs. Therefore, one has to focus widely on the abdominal portion and lower body portion along with the cardiovascular training.
