The testing will end when the subject presses the stop
the goal of this test is to travel the 1.5 miles as fast as you
The subject will begin the test and will walk/run 1.5
miles. The researcher will record how long it takes the subject
to complete the 1.5 miles. After the subject completes the 1.5
miles, they will cool down for 5-10 minutes by walking and
stretching.

the subjects should sit on the step for 3 minutes and rest, and
after the 3 minutes, the partner should palpate the radial pulse
the testing should set a timer for 3 minutes and also play the
metronome that the subject will be stepping to. For females, the

are on the step before stepping back down, and both feet are on
the ground before stepping back up. The subjects may switch lead
