VAMEVAL level 24
At level 24 of the VAMEVAL, the required speed is 19.5 km/h: 16 cones of 3.69 s each. The level lasts 59 s; when it ends you have covered 5 520 m in 24 min 08 s. Completing it in full credits you with a MAS of 19.5 km/h, roughly 66 ml/min/kg of VO₂max.
We are at the top of the table, the territory of well-trained athletes and endurance specialists. Few candidates in any entry test get this far, and no official standard requires it.
The previous level, 23, was run at 19 km/h. The next one, 25, moves to 20 km/h and counts 17 cones instead of 16. 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.
