Run: Easy Previous Next

Thanks for the Pacer Test instructions. Can't think of any time I would need to administer the Pacer Test, but it's good to know the instructions.

Your welcome. The pacer test comes in handy when you want to test your aerobic capacity. The Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) is a

multistage shuttle run created by Leger and Lambert in 1982.The PACER is

designed to measure aerobic capacity, which is characterized by endurance,

performance, and fitness. The objective of the PACER is to run as long as possible

while keeping a specified pace. Students run back and forth across a 20-meter

space at a pace that gets faster each minute. A point is scored for each 20-meter

distance covered. The test is easier in the beginning but progressively gets more

difficult. In comparison to distance running, the PACER is a more effective, fun,

and easy way to measure aerobic capacity that encourages participation from all

youth and is relatively easy to score and administer.
