It&#8217;s best to place them in descending order of their expected VMA. In this way, the best runners will be right behind the cyclist.<\/p>\n<p>The cyclist, for his part, will be provided with a test soundtrack that dictates the pace. Each beep corresponds to a pedaling lap. Riders simply have to follow the cyclist.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the starting speed for this test is 8 km\/h. It increases every 30 seconds by 0.3 km\/h.<\/p>\n<p>The test stops when the participant can no longer keep up with the pace set by the cyclist. The last level reached corresponds to the participant&#8217;s maximum aerobic speed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3844 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sportbeeper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/photo-anglais-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"BRUE test maximal aerobie speed\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong><u>3.Advantages\/disadvantages<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>This test has the advantage of being quick to set up. Unlike other tests, there are no studs to set up, so no track to measure. Motivation is also a factor, as the riders follow the bike in front, and the main aim is to stay with it. What&#8217;s more, the riders must &#8220;simply&#8221; follow the cyclist. They won&#8217;t have to set a pace.<\/li>\n<li>What&#8217;s more, to ensure that the distance between the cyclist and the last rider is not too great, it&#8217;s important to ensure that there aren&#8217;t too many of them when carrying out this test. Finally, the main drawback is that you need to be able to set a metronome according to the bike&#8217;s characteristics, i.e. the number of teeth per chainring, the number of teeth per pinion and the perimeter of the rear wheel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>4.How to calculate your VMA using the Brue test: ground markers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><u>Equipment required:<\/u><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>An athletics track (ideally)<\/li>\n<li>Markers every 25 metres (using an odometer)<\/li>\n<li>Soundtrack included with <a href=\"https:\/\/sportbeeper.com\/fr\/\">SportBeeper<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Step chart<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><u>Test sequence<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>Once again, this is a progressive continuous VMA test.<\/p>\n<p>But, The aim of the test is to be at stud height at each sound signal.<\/p>\n<p>The test starts at a speed of 8.5 km\/h. Stones are installed every 25 meters. Stops increase by 0.25 km\/h each time. The duration of the stops is 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>The test is over when the participant is no longer able to keep up with the pace (i.e. can&#8217;t be at the stud twice in succession). The last level reached is then taken into account. This is the VMA level.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sportbeeper.com\/fr\/\"><u>sportbeeper pro<\/u><\/a> allows you to calculate your VMA using the Brue test !<\/p>\n<h3><u>Advantages: <\/u> <\/h3>\n<p>First, the test is fairly simple to set up. All you need to do is place studs every 25 metres. What&#8217;s more, unlike the Brue test behind the bike, the number of participants can be greater, as there can be up to 3 participants per pole.<\/p>\n<h3><u>Disadvantages :<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>Secondly, with 3 participants per block, the observer(s) must be able to see all the participants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brue test !
