But they can be used in combination to create a pretty challenging 40 minute cardio session. We don’t suggest doing any of these beep tests in isolation as the basis of a cardio training program. Hate reading? Watch the video instead!īecause a beep test requires you to reach your Vo2 Max, its difficult to repeat this process many times in succession. You could also try our new post-rugby formula which pairs BCAAs with electrolytes and creatine. Elevated levels of no2 in an athlete’s blood stream have been shown to provide circulatory and oxygen-efficiency benefits. L-Arginine is metabolized into nitric oxide. If you have access to some NOxide, this is the time to use it! For anyone hearing about it for the first time, NOxide is an L-Arginine-rich blend of BCAAs which may increase endurance. We take 80 Brain about 20 minutes before starting the program.īut that’s only half of our recommended supplement intake for beep testing.
Its a balanced nootropic supplement that promotes both mental clarity and focus. If you’re familiar with our range of nutritional supplements for rugby players, you’ll probably have read up on our flagship cognitive enhancer, 80 Brain. Endurance + cognitive supplementsīeep testing is a real test of both cardio-vascular endurance and mental strength. We suggest using your stop watch to time your rest periods between the ‘Blocks’ of effort. The stop watch is used in the Programming section at the bottom of the page. Using 4 markers gives us the ability to create two new beep test variations that focus on real rugby movements.
Running 20m shuttles back and forth and back and forth isn’t terribly useful for developing rugby-specific fitness. We firmly believe in creating training programs that are rugby-specific. Why do you need 4 distance markers? Mostly because of the ‘Reversal’ shown variations below. Our favorite is called the Beep Fitness Test which can be downloaded for just $0.99 from the iOS store. But there are a range of mobile app around that can get the job done. Testing with a huge stereo isn’t usually very practical. One thing we really do recommend is that you grab a beep test app.
