Observations on the Harvard Step Test

E. N. Keen 1 and A. W. Sloan 1

1 From the Departments of Anatomy and Physiology, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa

The Harvard step test was applied to two groups of healthy young men, one consisting of medical students and the other of physical education students. The fitness index, as calculated from the results of the test, was not significantly correlated with stature, weight, length of leg, or bi-iliac diameter, but inverse correlation with the resting pulse rate was highly significant. The physical education students, who were all undergoing routine physical training, had higher fitness indices and lower resting pulse rates than the medical students.
