TI
Do you have your figures? (Time Weight HR (+ Age + Sex!))
Have you tried putting them into one of the on-line calculators? See here, but there are others:
Rockport Calculator
Compare your figures obtained from the calculator with the requirement based on the existing Shuttle Run (see my earlier post for links) - the standards should be the same.
Not relevant to you, but contrary to some studies (
eg Nieman, 1999), for
some people, the treadmill produces significantly different results than the track, but the impression I get from on here is that it is being administered in different ways at different units (or is this weather dependant?).
If the results you obtain online are different from what the PTIs are telling you, you should start kicking up a fuss. If not, will they let you re-take the test? Or does computer say no?
I do find it astonishing that you go from Light Blue to fail unless something has changed significantly over the last 12 mths.
