PACER Test 🏃

Run the FitnessGram Multi-Stage Aerobic Capacity Test straight from your browser — no CD player required. Deep gym-filling beeps, an animated runner on screen, built-in student tracking, and a one-click CSV export when it’s done.

🔊 Deep gym beeps — low, chest-filling tones that carry across any gym without piercing ears. Sounds like the real thing.
🏃 Animated runner — a visual pacer bounces back and forth on screen so students always know which direction to run.
🔢 Student score tracking — tap a student number the moment they stop. Their level and laps are recorded automatically.
📊 CSV export — download a spreadsheet of every student’s results with one click when the test is done.
📏 20m and 15m modes — standard gym distance or the shorter version for younger kids or smaller spaces.

📋
What is the PACER?
The Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run measures aerobic capacity. Students run back and forth between two lines, keeping pace with a beep that gets faster each level.
📈
21 Levels
Starts at 8.0 km/h (Level 1) and climbs to 18.5 km/h (Level 21). Each level increases speed and requires more laps — a true progressive challenge.
🎯
FitnessGram Standard
Follows official FitnessGram timing and lap counts for both 20m and 15m distances. Scores are directly comparable to the published Healthy Fitness Zone tables.
🗣
Voice Announce Option
Enable the optional level announcer and your browser will call out each new level automatically — no need to watch the screen.
