but yes in regards to most triathletes it would still be a task as 3.3 over a 20 is still a very reasonable pace after so many reps, so yes there would be high endurance athletes out there but the point i was making was that they would need to also have genuine pace in order to record such a time as most afl players who play outside midfield roles ie the akermanisis, deledios occassionally judds ect record times of around wat 2.6 or so for 20 i think deledio was in the 2.7 range in his draft year or somthing along those lines any way

ps i know this is a bit off topic but does anyone no the 20m sprint record for the draft camp? any help there would be greatly appreciated cheers ;):thumbsu:

I think 17+ is the province of olympic quality endurance runners- if anyone has ever run out a test I'd like to see proof of it, because that strikes me as impossible.

Which is why im touting him as the next big thing, will win the rising star next year in a canter if he is given a crack, Ive never been as impressed with a youngster as I am with him, gonna be the next Chris Judd dare I say.

:rolleyes: Hilariously silly even for you.

People with scrawny frames tend to do better on beep tests because they aren't carrying as much weight, for example, Rosa and Chambers- AFL players, even the supremely fit ones, struggle to get above 15 and 16 because they need to trade off some pace/endurance for strength and build.

The reason Judd's results are so impressive is because physically he's a tank, and is still running in the 15s- Rosa is a skinny kid with a distance runner's build, who has always had impressive endurance, but a good beep test result isn't what he needs to improve his game- learning to kick accurately, putting on weight, skirting packs less and upping his intensity would be a start.
 
20 metres, are you sure?

Down at Carlton we put the marks 2 metres apart and Lance has rolled over it 4 times now (how impressive is that), we had to stop the tape a couple of times so it didn't make that ********ing noise every time we tried to entice him over with a Big Mac.

Oh well, at least we got great KPP, not like you Eagles, only finished 2nd and played in the GF, if you had great KPP stocks like the mighty Blues - well 16th was possible.

nah man didnt make state this year played a shockin last game of the grandfinal for the regional selection thing and had stress fractures in right foot at the same time so didnt get picked this year unfortunatly:thumbsd: hoping to have an injury free run this year for once lol hey i was wondering cuz over here in queensland they pick the team based on trial matches from teams all over queensland and the players that perform well there make state and i heard that in W.A they have like a permanent 22 that just stays together from like the age of 14 so they can develop together and learn to play as a good team is this true or do they just have the same regional try out things

ps sorry bout changing the topic once again guys

The above was talking about giving up build for speed... well of course since F=MA!! AS IN FORCE = MASS X ACCELERATION..... (for the beginner E=MC^2 is to do with mass changing into energy - atomic bombs etc and has nothing to do with the above equation) the more bulkier a person is, or heavier in mass, the lower their ability is to acceleration and vice versa, the lighter a person is in mass the better their ability to accelerate as both M and A are relative to one another...

Thanks for the Year 9 physics lesson but I was well aware of the equation, I was wondering on what basis you were applying a force calculation to what is essentially an endurance test.

And FWIW, a 20m sprint is more of a power athletes domain, a lighter frame wouldn't benefit from that point of view, it's the repetition and total energy used that favours the lighter athletes

15's is that brilliant. Im a 19yr old female who plays hockey and am a full time student and obviously am not a professional athlete and I get 13's. Would expect for a AFL player for that to be a lot higher than that.

Belinda Clarke, former women's australian captain, got 17.5 once.

theres a big step from the mid 13's to higher 15's believe me!!
are u sure about the 17.5??? there was a rumour going around a while back that craig bradley from carlton once beat the beep test but im not too sure about that, did anyone else hear that??
and also hockey is more relevant to the beep test where u are running back and forth in the space of about 20m or so, so the beep test is the best indication of fitness for hockey as it is more relevant than football.. i've always thought that a 3km time trial was better for measuring a footballer's fitness..
 
Just reading through the conversation I couldn't believe Matt Rosa got around the 15's for the beep test!!!!!!!! Congrats to him, and hopefully he'll only get better from there!!!! Rock On Matt Rosa!!!!:)

dead set correct about the 17.5 - i not only watched it but also read about it in one inside cricket (or was it indisde edge back then?) magazine.
 
ive got the beep test here at home, and ******** 17.5 the beeps are close together i cant see many people doing 17.5, let alone a female cricketer who isnt exaclty build like a marathon runner.
 
Im at atop level of basketball in WA and ive seen some really fit players but none of them heve gone over 16, 17.5 seems impossible.

Yeh agree, anything over 16 is near enough impossible i would say

Claremont Colts recently had a beep test, James Thompson 15.12 and Eric MacKenzie 15.4 being a couple of the standout performances

And they're only part time athletes/junior footballers!
