A methodology behind the famous 12 minutes running test is very often well-know thing. The idea of this test was 12 minutes run, and that was giving very good knowledge about the physical condition of the person, and also it was controlled the hidden heart problems. The speed of the person is very easy to calculate by using formula range/2*10, as I wrote before, but the reason for this is, that the idea of the test was also separate people, who bought the results.
The 12 minutes time was given by the FBI and the mission of those tests was to uncover the persons, who made business in the military forces. The test was not limited to the running tests, the blood tests were also used for selection of men into those test. If the hemoglobin is very low, there is no change, that the person would get very high results in those tests. And the doping is also visible. So this is the reason, why the Cooper's test is made, but there is also another aspect in that test.
In this test is many prizes, and this makes persons try extremely hard. And the result is sometimes the heart attack or the breathing muscles paralyzing, if the person, who would be tested have used drugs or have neurological problems. This is the danger of that famous test, what is used in the selection of military personnel. But it is used in many more selection and following processes than the only military. The results of the tests are simply to analyze, and the best would be separated easily. The faking of the results is very difficult because if the person runs 3000 meters, would the formula tell the speed of that person 3000/2*10=15000 meters in 60 minutes. And this gives speed 15 km/h.
The similar dangers are in the ultra sports like triathlon. If the person tries too hard, the result could be death by fatigue. The results of the tests are sweeping, and they can use in the statistical analyses and comparison of the physical wellness of generations. This test is sometimes got critics, that it pushes people too much, and sometimes that test causes injuries or even death when somebody tries too hard, what is extremely dangerous.
