A modified Harvard step test for women

A. W. Sloan 1

1 Department of Physiology, University of Cape Town, South Africa

The fitness indexes of two groups of healthy young women performing the Harvard step test on steps of various heights were compared with the fitness indexes of a corresponding group of men performing the test on a step of the standard height (20 inches). The closest agreement with the results of the men was attained by women using a step 17 inches high. Not only did the mean fitness indexes correspond, but also the distribution of individuals in the several categories of physical fitness.
