Rockport One-Mile Walking Test
The Rockport One-Mile Walking Test is a way to measure VO2 Max Capacity. VO2 Max is also known as maximal oxygen consumption. It is the maximum capacity of an individual’s body to transport and use oxygen during exercise (Hodges, 2013). VO2 Max is used to determine the physical fitness of the individual. As a student of this class, you will use this test to determine your initial physical fitness and your improvement in physical fitness throughout the course of this class.
The Test: Walk one mile around Cook Field, and take your heart immediately afterwards. (Heart rate directions on page 24 of your book, you want to calculate beats per minute)
Before you Calculate VO2 Max:
1. Calculate your weight in kilograms: ___73________
(Multiply your weight in pounds by 0.454)
2. Convert your One-mile time to seconds: ___872_______
3. Remember your heart rate in beats per minute taken immediately after finishing the one-mile test
Males
139.150
Minus (0.1692 x ____73____) weight in kilograms
Minus (0.3877 x ____19_____) age in years
Minus (3.2649 x ______14.6__) time in minutes
Minus (0.1565 x ______110___) heart rate in beats per minute = ___54.2436______ Aerobic Capacity
Females
132.835
Minus (0.1692 x _________) weight in kilograms
Minus (0.3877 x _________) age in years
Minus (3.2649 x _________) time in minutes
Minus (0.1565 x _________) heart rate in beats per minute
= _________ Aerobic Capacity
Your Aerobic Capacity refers to the amount of oxygen your body can use each minute (the more oxygen you use, the better your fitness level). Once you find your aerobic capacity, use Table 2.2 on page 30 of your book to interpret your results. Write a half a page interpreting your results and attach it to this document.
