The Cooper Fitness Test is a well-established method for assessing cardiovascular fitness and aerobic capacity (VO2 max). Originally designed for the military, it’s widely used by athletes and personal trainers to track endurance progress. The test is simple: run as far as possible in 12 minutes, keeping a steady pace. Your result is then compared against standardised charts based on age and gender to determine your fitness level.
