VAMEVAL level 14
At level 14 of the VAMEVAL, the required speed is 14.5 km/h: 12 cones of 4.97 s each. The level lasts 1 min; when it ends you have covered 2 640 m in 14 min 06 s. Completing it in full credits you with a MAS of 14.5 km/h, roughly 46 ml/min/kg of VO₂max.
This is a trained runner’s level. Holding 14.5 km/h in a shuttle, with a turn every 5 seconds, takes a solid MAS and a clean turning technique.
The previous level, 13, was run at 14 km/h. The next one, 15, moves to 15 km/h and counts 13 cones instead of 12. On this test the gap between two levels is small in speed and large in feel, because fatigue carries over from one level to the next.

Frequently asked questions
What MAS does level 14 of the VAMEVAL give?
A MAS of 14.5 km/h, provided you complete the level. If you stop midway, the scoring rule credits the last full level, so 14 km/h (level 13).
How long does level 14 last?
1 min, i.e. 12 cones of 4.97 s. From the start of the test that makes 14 min 06 s of running.
What pace per kilometre is this level?
14.5 km/h is 4:08 /km. That is the pace you would hold on a track, without the turns: in a shuttle the same figure costs more.
