Rockport test: Rockport is 1-mile walk test. This test measures your cardiovascular fitness. It is very easy to administer. This test of 1.0 mile walk predicts the aerobic fitness for individual of all ages. The participant is instructed to walk fast enough so that his/her heartbeat reaches more than 130 beats per minute. This test incorporates the time to finish the walk, exercise heart rate, body mass, age and gender into an equation to predict aerobic fitness. We can check the highest possible rate of oxygen consumption i.e., VO2 max. This test is administered in 400 m track. Post heart rate is recorded by electronic monitoring immediately after crossing 1 mile walk. If using radial pulse for HR determination. measure HR for 15 seconds and multiply by 4 to get beats/minute. Now you can calculate your VO2 max.
