Multi-stage shuttle run
Follow the signal. Reach the line. Turn and go again.
Recognised 20 metre multi-stage shuttle protocol: approximately one minute per level.
Final result
1 Mark two lines exactly 20 metres apart on a flat, clear and non-slip surface.
2 Start behind one line and reach the opposite line at each signal before turning.
3 Continue as the time between signals gets shorter and the required pace increases.
4 Select End Test when the runner can no longer maintain the required pace.
This browser-based beep test timer guides a runner between two lines positioned 20 metres apart. It displays the current level, shuttle number, target speed, time to the next signal and an animated direction guide.
No account or installation is required. The test runs directly in the browser and works on desktop computers, tablets and modern phones.
Each completed shuttle moves the test forward. When a level is complete, the pace increases automatically. Ending the test records the last completed level and shuttle, approximate distance covered and elapsed test time.
Different organisations may apply different missed-line and scoring rules, so use this timer as a pacing tool and follow the rules supplied for your assessment.
The timer can support sports conditioning, school fitness sessions and practice before a formal shuttle-run assessment. Set up the full course before pressing Start Test and make sure the audio can be heard clearly at both ends.
Sound can be turned on or off, the timer can enter fullscreen mode, and the display finish can be changed without affecting the running test. Keyboard shortcuts are available for fast control from a laptop.
Choose the required protocol before starting. The recognised standard uses 20 metres; a 15 metre version is also provided for organisations that use a shorter course.
The final result remains visible on the page until the test is reset or the page is reloaded. It is not uploaded or stored in an account.
