Procedure

1. Stand on a step or bench with a height of 20 cm and again lower to the floor (start the exercise with any leg).

Climb on the step and stoop on the floor for 3 minutes in a row, making 1 minute 24 lift, that is "overcoming" about 5 seconds "2 step".

(This rhythm will help You to withstand the metronome.)

Each ascent and descent propulsion is composed of 4 components:

• 1 – lift one leg on the step,
• 2 – the subject stands on the step with both feet, taking a vertical position,
• 3 – down on the floor, the foot with which he began the ascent,
• 4 – puts the other foot on the floor.

 
2. Exactly after 3 minutes, stop and immediately sit in a chair. 3. Exactly 1 minute after you complete the test, count the pulse for 30 seconds and multiply the number by 2 to determine the pulse rate (for 1 minute). 4. Using the table "Endurance cardiovascular and respiratory systems" make the assessment of this indicator. If you climb on the step for 3 minutes too much for You, consider that Your cardio-respiratory endurance is at a very low level.
Results: the numbers in the table correspond to the number of heartbeats per minute (heart rate should be measured 1 minute after test execution).published by P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
