Calculation method and formula
((60 × 400 time – minutes [min] + 400 time – seconds [Sek.]) − (60 × 200 time – minutes [min] + 200 time – seconds [Sek.])) ÷ 2
Understand the inputs
- Distance unit
- Choose the matching option; it determines the table value or calculation variant.
- 400 time – minutes
- Unit: Min.. Minimum 0. Whole number.
- 400 time – seconds
- Unit: Sek.. Minimum 0. Maximum 59.9. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
- 200 time – minutes
- Unit: Min.. Minimum 0. Whole number.
- 200 time – seconds
- Unit: Sek.. Minimum 0. Maximum 59.9. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Assumptions and limitations
CSS uses comparable 400- and 200-distance tests in the same unit. Their time difference is halved. Inconsistent timings distort the result; it is not a directly measured threshold.
The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
