The<unk>  subject repeatedly<unk> s onto and off of a platform in a cycle of two seconds. The height of the platform is for men and for women. The rate of 30<unk> s per minute must be sustained for five minutes or until exhaustion. To ensure the right speed, a metronome is used. Exhaustion is the point at which the subject cannot maintain the<unk> ping rate for 15 seconds. The subject immediately sits down on completion of the<unk> , and the heartbeats are counted for 1 to 1.5, 2 to 2.5, and 3 to 3.5 minutes. The results are written down as time until exhaustion in seconds () and total heartbeats counted (). It is plotted into a simple fitness index equation: : The outcome of the equation is rated as follows: Rating Fitness index Excellent > 96 Good 83–96 Average 68–82 Low average 54–67 Poor < 54
