Aerobic Endurance

Assesses the body’s ability to sustain exercise using oxygen-dependent energy production.
Examples: Cooper 12-Minute Run, VO₂max Test, 20 m Shuttle Run.

Anaerobic Endurance

Assesses the ability to sustain or repeat high-intensity efforts when anaerobic energy contribution is substantial.
Examples: Wingate Anaerobic Test, Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST).

SPORTS SCIENCES

Cardiovascular Endurance

Evaluates cardiorespiratory fitness and the body’s ability to deliver and use oxygen during exercise.
Examples: Graded Exercise Test, Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET).

Sprinters Profile

Muscular Endurance

Assesses a muscle or muscle group’s ability to sustain or repeat contractions over time.
Examples: Push-Up Test, Sit-Up Test, Plank Endurance Test.

Middle & Long Distance Profile

Sport-Specific Endurance

Sport-Specific Endurance
Assesses endurance through movement patterns and effort demands relevant to a particular sport.
Examples: Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test, repeated-sprint tests and sport-specific field tests.
