Cardiovascular Fitness Assessment – Post-Test
Name _______________Jonathan DiCrasto_______________________________ Date _____4/15/14_______________
Introduction: Earlier in this course you completed a Cardiovascular Fitness Assessment (Lab 2). You are now going to repeat this assessment to see the benefits of 12 weeks of consistent cardiovascular conditioning.
You need to complete the same assessment you did at the beginning of the semester in order to have comparable results…the 1.5 mile run for most of you, or the 1.0 mile walk test if you had specific permission from the instructor (or the bicycle ergometer assessment).
As before, the 1.5 mile assessment involves 12 laps in the CU field house. If you are doing it outside on the track, you will need to do 6 laps. Have something with you on which to record your results (time, heart rate if needed, etc.). Use the results to develop the activity report below.
In Appendix B in your textbook are the descriptions of the various test protocols. Following here is the laboratory report you are to complete and submit.
PACL Laboratory Activity #11 Report
Cardiovascular Fitness Assessment – Post-Test
1. Identify which assessment you used and what your time was for your post-test assessment. (For the jogging or walking test, also list your ending heart rate for the 10 second count and then in beats per minute.)
(For run, jog, or walk):
Test: ______Run____________________ Time: __11:10__________
(For walk or jog ONLY):
Heart Rate for 10 seconds: _________ Heart rate in beats/minute: __________
2. Indicate, based on your results, what your Cardiovascular Fitness Rating is using the appropriate chart from Appendix B. If you used the jogging or walking test, indicate what your VO2max was.
Fitness Rating: ________________________
If you used the jogging or walking test, indicate what your VO2max was.
