Cardiorespiratory Endurance Lab Report
1. Purpose Of Data
• The purpose of the Cardiorespiratory Endurance lab was to utilize methods of aerobic
activity to measure pulse recovery rate and to calculate the V02max. of our bodies.
2. Methods Used To Collect Data
• The two methods used to collect data in this lab included a bench step test and jump
roping. The bench step test lasted for three minutes and during the time allotted we
were expected to step up and down from the box in rhythm with a metronome.
After the three minutes were up, our pulse was to be recorded for 15 seconds and
the lab assistant would enter our data into a computer to calculate our V02 max. For
the jump rope test, we performed two timed trials of jump roping. One was at a
slower pace for three minutes, while the other was a bit faster. Our data was
collected to
determine the recovery pulse after the test.
3. The Results Of Measurements
• For the bench stepping activity, my recovery pulse after 15 seconds was recorded at
33 beats. After being entered into the computer, a V02 max. of 55.9ml/kg/min was
the end result given. For the rope jumping activity, the data collected was given to
Dr. Kempf, though I believe for the slower trial of jump roping my recovery pulse
was recorded at 32 beats, while the faster trial yielded a recovery pulse of 34 beats in
the
15 seconds we measured our pulse.
4. Results Compared To Class
• Data for the jump roping test was not posted on the excel spreadsheet, so results
