One Mile Walk Fitness Tests

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

This is a one mile walking fitness test. But not the one I

originally had found, as this one asks you to measure your pulse also.

It might be interesting for us to set up a table in the files to

compare our results in a similar way to Francesca's BMI table. It

would probably need columns for: ID, age, BMI, pulse at five minute

point, pulse at end of walk, time taken to walk the mile (min:sec),

and whether the mile was walked on an accurately measured, flat,

athletic track (Y/N). If only a metric track is available the time

could be adjusted proportionally.

Any takers? With my arm in a sling it will be a while before I can

enter fully realistic data for me. But in a couple of weeks I would

be happy to enter some sling-encumbered data.

Rodney.
