Worked example
Covering 2,400 metres in 12 minutes gives an estimated Cooper result of about 42.4 mL/kg/min.
Understanding the result
Field-test results are estimates and do not diagnose cardiovascular fitness.
Assumptions
- The selected protocol is completed and measured as published.
Limitations
- Pacing, terrain, weather, measurement, medication, and health affect results.
- Do not assume laboratory accuracy.
Sources and method references
- Cooper 12-minute field test (1968). Field estimate developed in a specific study population.
- Rockport one-mile walk equation validation (1987). Requires the full one-mile protocol inputs.
Frequently asked questions
Is this equivalent to a laboratory test?
