Question

using the long term formula calculate the physical fitness index for a 12 year old boy having completed Harvard step test for a duration of 5 min and pulse rate of 54 beats 1 to 1.5 minutes, 50 beats for 2 to 2.5 minutes and 46 beats for 3 to 3.5 minutes​

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.
