Document Summary
Materials: calculator, 16. 25-inch step or bleacher bench, stopwatch, metronome. Purpose: to measure (1) recovery from physical activity, (2) walking speed, and (3) current level of cardiorespiratory. For this test, you will be stepping on a 16. 25-inch-high step bench for three minutes and then measuring your recovery pulse for 15 seconds: setup and preparation. Set up a 16. 25-inch-high step bench or bleacher bench (a typical gym bleacher bench is 16. 25 inches high) in a place that will be safe to perform the test. Warm-up prior to the assessment with walking and range of motion exercises. Set the metronome to a pace of 96 beats per minute for men (24 steps/min) and 88 bpm for women (22 steps/min). Listen to the metronome and do a couple of practice steps to ensure that you can step with the right ca- dence ( up, up, down, down ). One foot will be stepping up or down with each beat of the metronome.
