I compared my fitness , speed and strength to that of premier league professional football soccer players. Inspired by Freekickerz. INSTAGRAM: bit.ly/IGkierandb football soccer recreation challenge. Kieran Brown.
tbf you don't really need to be a Premier League level footballer to achieve most those targets. I used to play football myself semi pro level and below and most players would be able to pass most these tests, except the VO2 Max probably
The worst thing about the bleep test is that if you're trying, and unless you can comfortably complete the whole thing like a freak, you're always going to feel dead after it. Whether you're overweight and tapping out at 5 or an athlete and hitting 15, you're always going to feel shit at the end. In conclusion, fuck the bleep test.
I was a local football player and believe me even at lower level the fitness test is really tough because when the coach are watching at you, it gives extra pressure
6:19 he says it’s 0.2s but it’s actually 0.02s difference, I thought someone else would’ve pointed it out by now but it really annoyed me so I had to put it in the comments :)
Really good job. Although you didn’t pass a lot of them you did much better than the vast majority of people can and it was really inspiring to see you get so close because although you might not have beat a lot of them, you still were very close to the scores of professional players known world wide. Good job.
Just a tip, for the t test you’re supposed to touch every come every time you pass it and you are supposed to shuffle sideways rather than run forward and at the end you are supposed to run backwards rather than turn 180° and run forward. But good video
I think it goes without saying but each of these is the mark of the top 1% of athletes. Kieran getting close with no training is very impressive, and if you can’t do any of these, you’re in the boat with most of us. I train my body every day for over an hour and find most of these to be quite difficult.
We got to consider that he did all these tests in just one single day, one after the other. Premier Leaugue players do one these test at least once a month. Great video, Kieran.
Whilest it's a bit on the high end I think it's easier than plank for 2 minutes lol.. It's much more natural to have arm muscles developed (than abs and lower back)
Cool video, love the idea. But the 'static jump test' was actually a countermovement jump, not a static jump, and the bleep test bugged me because of the amount of times you turned and continued without the beep... but other than that, loved it. (I'm a sport student, don't @ me)
@@omar94khan the countermovement jump is what he did, which consists of starting in an upright position, bending the knees and jumping in one fluid motion with hands on the hips, whereas the static jump is the same but starting in a half-squat and holding it for 1-2 seconds before jumping, with hands on hips. The static jump provides raw power from the legs but countermovement jump adds extra momentum so isn't quite as accurate at calculating true power
Track athletes train their entire life for that. Bolt's football career summed it up that being fit doesn't necessarily mean that he could play football
What a sudden end, now we know that it burned too bad for you to even end the video properly 😹 maybe I'll try this test. Thanks so much for making the video, hope to see more interesting content 🙆🏾♂️
Last year we did a beep test for pe, my teacher ended up joining us, me and my teacher were the last ones. I ended up beating my teacher by 1 full point. He got 11 and I got 12. I was quite proud of myself but since then I’ve lost a lot of fitness.
@@jm-je4tl So there is a distance of 20m - in the video from one cone to the other - and you have to run from one end to the other before the beep. There are 10 beeps per level and it gradually gets faster and faster. Level 1 is pretty much a fast walk. Level 2 is a gentle jog. Levels 3-5 is where it starts to become like exercise and this is where most of the fat kids in our school would bow out in shame. Levels 6-8 is normally when you start to feel fatigued and this was about the school average. At this point you’ve heard the beep 80 times and the horrible, emotionless voice on the tape booms around the school hall telling you for the 8th time that it’s a new level. Levels 8-10 was where the majority of kids that played football/rugby would have to stop as you’re now having to sprint to the other end and your legs are basically jelly after all the bullshit from levels 1-8. Level 10-12 was only achieved by a few and they were mostly long-distance runners. By this point the fat kids had already showered and changed and were waiting for the last kid to drop out so class would end. Good times. Sorry for the long post.
Oh i still remember the bleep test in my school. I have done it once in my life and cant exactly remember when i stopped, must be around level 9-10. I laughed my ass off when some class mates gave up at lvl 3-5, i couldnt imagine how early can someone give up. This shows how fat % is so game changing, and i know my fat % is below average for my age. It was fun and interesting in the first try, but upon finishing it you never ever want to do it again.
@@kalyanakumarinagarajan9899 it won’t cause an injury it just works different muscles. I do every sort from wide arms pushed forward in front of me to narrow below my rib cage, they all work a different point.
Cheers, mate. Train for it and try again. You can get some good content just from a good training regimen. Plus, you know, get in the best shape of your life.
