Question

Calculate the physical fitness index using short formula for 12

years-old by having completed Harvard step test for a duration of 3

minutes and a pulse rate of 54 beats for 1 to 1.5 minute.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 Answer

Physical Fitness Index = (Duration of exercise in seconds x 100)/(5.5 x Pulse count between 1-1.5 minutes)

Duration of exercise for 12-year old boy = 3 minutes.

Pulse count for 1 to 1.5 minutes = 54.

So, Physical Fitness Index = (3 x 60 x 100)/(5.5 x 54) = 18000/297 = 60.6.
