Q21. Name the Tests used to calculate cardio vascular fitness. Write the formula for fitness index and
calculate fitness index if duration of exercise is 300sec and sum of heart rate is 260.
Answers
Answer:-
Rockport Walk Test(One Mile Test) The formula used to calculate VO2 max is: 132.853-(0.0769×weight)-(0.3877× age)+(6.315 x gender)-(3.2649 × time)- (0.1565 × HeartRate)
D. Harvard Step Test The Harvard Step test is a test of aerobic fitness, developed by Brouhaandh is associates(19 43) in the Harvard Fatigue Laboratories during WWII for college students. It was a very simple and promising field test for measuring cardiovascular endurance of human beings by using easily available and inexpensive equipment.
Fitness Index(short form)= 100 x test duration(seconds)/5.5 x pulse count (1-1.5min)
Fitness Index (long form)- (100 × test duration in seconds )/(2 × Sum of hearts beats)
=>(100×300)/(2 × 260)
=>(30000)/(520)
=>(57.6)
Therefore, the answer is "57.6"
