Heart Rate Data Results: Step Test
Pre-Test on October 7, 2010 and Post-Test on May 5, 2011
Students recorded heart rate data which included resting, maximum exertion, 30-second recovery, and perceived exertion rates. In comparing the 30-second recovery rates from our pre and post testing, we saw little to no significant change with the exception of the girls in grades nine and ten, who showed a significant decrease. However, these results may not be a true indication of performance. We believe these results were skewed due to the instructors inadvertently giving the students a minimum heart rate goal of 146 for their maximum heart rate. As you can see from the results, the ninth and tenth grade girl’s average heart rate was 146.
Grade 7 Boys: The 30-second recovery heart rate for the pre-test was 127. The 30-second recovery heart rate for the post-test was 127. There was zero change in the 30-second recovery rate from pre to post-test.
Grade 7 Girls: The 30-second recovery heart rate for the pre-test was 126. The 30-second recovery heart rate for the post-test was 128. There was a 2 point change in the 30-second recovery rate from pre to post-test.
Grade 8 Boys: The 30-second recovery heart rate for the pre-test was 124. The 30-second recovery heart rate for the post-test was 124. There was zero change in the 30-second recovery rate from pre to post-test.

Grade 9 Boys: The 30-second recovery heart rate for the pre-test was 113. The 30-second recovery heart rate for the post-test was 111. There was a 2 point change in the 30-second recovery rate from pre to post-test.
Grade 9 Girls: The 30-second recovery heart rate for the pre-test was 136. The 30-second recovery heart rate for post-test was 105. There was a 31 point change in the 30-second recovery rate from pre to post-test (see note above).
