Medical Science concludes that there is a very high correlation between the distance that an individual can cover in 12 minutes and the efficiency with which the body can use oxygen for running.

Cooper Run test technique

The Cooper 12 minute run test requires the person being tested to run or walk as far as possible in a 12 minute period. The objective of the test is to measure the maximum distance covered by the individual during the 12 minute period and is usually carried out on a running track by placing cones at various distances to enable measuring of the distance. A stopwatch is required for ensuring that the individual runs for the correct amount of time.
