The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test, often simply referred to as the Pacer Test, is a multistage aerobic capacity test used to assess an individual's cardiovascular fitness and endurance. It is commonly administered in physical education classes, fitness assessments, and sports training programs, especially in schools.

Here's how the Pacer Test works:

Setup: Participants run back and forth across a 20-meter (66-foot) distance. The distance is usually marked with cones or lines on a gymnasium floor or outdoor field.
Timing: A pre-recorded audio track or a test administrator announces a series of "beeps." Participants must run from one end to the other before the next beep sounds.
Speed: The initial beeps start at a relatively slow pace but gradually increase in speed as the test progresses. Participants must keep up with the pace, running faster with each successive beep.
Stopping: The test continues until a participant can no longer keep up with the required pace and fails to reach the opposite end before the beep sounds for the second time in a row. When this happens, the test is concluded, and the number of completed laps is recorded.
Scoring: The score is determined by the number of laps successfully completed before reaching exhaustion. This score is used to estimate the individual's aerobic fitness level. There are charts and norms available to interpret the results.
The Pacer Test is designed to be a challenging assessment of an individual's aerobic fitness and endurance. It measures the ability to sustain increasingly intense physical activity over time. It's often used as a fitness tool in schools to encourage physical activity and assess the cardiovascular fitness of students.

The specific requirements and scoring may vary depending on the institution or program conducting the test.
