Question

The correct formula to compute Fitness Index is:

• A. \(\frac{\text{Duration of Exercise (in Sec.)} \times 100}{2 \times \text{pulse count from 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) minute to 2 minutes after exercise}}\)
• B. \(\frac{\text{Duration of Exercise (in Sec.)} \times 100}{2 \times 3 \text{ pulse after test}}\)
• C. \(\frac{\text{Duration of Exercise (in Sec.)} \times 100}{5.5 \times \text{pulse count from 1 to 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) minute after exercise}}\)
• D. \(\frac{\text{Duration of Exercise (in Sec.)} \times 100}{2.5 \times \text{pulse count from 1 to 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) seconds after exercise}}\)

Hint:

A higher Fitness Index score indicates better cardiovascular fitness and quicker recovery after physical activity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct formula to compute Fitness Index is \(\frac{\text{Duration of Exercise (in Sec.)} \times 100}{2 \times \text{pulse count from 1 \(\frac{1}{2}\) minute to 2 minutes after exercise}}\). This formula is used to assess an individual's cardiovascular fitness level after an exercise activity. The number of pulse beats during the recovery period is crucial in calculating the index.
