This tool is designed to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness levels. It utilizes data gathered from completing a one-mile walking course. The information required typically includes the individual’s age, weight, gender, time taken to complete the mile, and heart rate immediately after the walk.
Assessing cardiorespiratory fitness is valuable for understanding overall health and well-being. Regular monitoring can help individuals track progress in their fitness journey and potentially identify areas for improvement. Historically, methods to assess fitness required more complex laboratory settings, whereas this offers a more accessible option for the general population.
