FITNESS There are many aspects to physical fitness. These include: cardiovascular endurance, balance and coordination, muscular strength & endurance and flexibility. The ideal is to be fit in all of these categories, so that a marathon runner is not necessarily more fit than a sprinter. In today's lab, we will do a brief assessment of each of these categories. I. Cardiovascular Fitness One of the simplest and most effective measures of cardiovascular fitness is the Schneider Test. This series of tests compares your heart rate at rest and after exercise. This gives us insight into the efficiency of the cardiovascular system to transport oxygen to the tissues. Procedure: 1. Sit quietly for 3 minutes and measure your heart rate pulse in bpm (beats per minute). 2. Step up two stairs at a time, right foot first, then bring up the left foot and place it next to your right, Step down with the left foot and then bring the right foot down to the floor next to it. Caution: Hold the handrail in case you lose your balance. 3. Repeat this exercise five times, allowing only three seconds total time for each repetition. 4. Immediately after completion of the fifth repetition, measure your heart rate. 5. Continue to measure your heart rate for the next two minutes. Record your heart rate at 30 second intervals and graph the results. 6. Calculate your scores from the tables and calculate your overall fitness score.
