The Harvard Step test is a test to test aerobic fitness: Equipment required: Step or platform 20 inches / 50.8 cm high for men and 16 inches for women, stopwatch, and metronome or cadence tape. Things to be done before the test: Explain test procedures to the subject. Perform screed of health risks and obtain informed consent. Prepare forms and record basic information such as age, height, body weight, gender, test conditions. Check step height and set metronome. Procedure: The athlete steps up and down on the platform at a rate of 30 steps per minute (every two seconds) for 5 minutes or until exhaustion. Exhaustion is defined as when the athlete cannot maintain the stepping rate for 15 seconds. The athlete immediately sits down on completion of the test, and the total number of heart beats are counted between 1 to 1.5 minutes after finishing. This is the only measure required if using the short form of the test. If the long form of the test is being conducted, there is an additional heart rate measures at between 2 to 2.5 minutes, and between 3 to 3.5 minutes. Scoring: The Fitness Index score is determined by the following equations: Fitness Index (short form) = (100 \[\times \] test duration in seconds) divided by (5.5 \[\times \] pulse count between 1 and 1.5 minutes). Fitness Index (long form) = (100 \[\times \] test dm in seconds) divided by (2 \[\times \] sum of heart be the recovery periods).

Rating	Fitness index (long form)
