Calculate the physical fitness index using short formula for a 12 year old boy having completed Harvard Step Test for a duration of 3 minutes and a pulse rate of 54 beats for 1 to 1.5 minute.

Answer:

The athlete?s fitness index score is calculated with the help of following formula.

Fitness index score = (\[100\times \] test duration in seconds) divided by (\[2\times \] sum of heart beats in recovery period).

\[\left( 100\times 180\text{ }Sec \right)/2\times 54=500/3=166.66\]
