A PROPOSAL OF A SIMPLE COMBINATION TEST FOR RELATIVE LOCAL ENDURANCE FOR GENERAL POPULATION

(2) AN EVALUATION METHOD ON RELATIVE LOCAL ENDURANCE IN THE UPPER LIMBS, THE LOWER LIMBS AND THE BODY AND A COMBINATED EVALUATION METHOD ON THE WHOLE BODY

Abstract

We have tried to design a method to measure health degrees as one of ideas to grasp the activity of general population.
We should like to suggest to measure relative local endurance and to observe its index or their mutual index ratio measurement of their endurance in each item.
Exercise method was already reported in the report (1) .
Loading time by standing arm test (SAT) is 1 minute, knee test (KT) is 30 seconds, sit up test (ST) is 30 seconds for general population.
Extimate formulas on index are given as follows,
SAT=120-2Y/ (P₁+P₂) ×4×1.36×100=2206-37Y/P₁+P₂
KT=120-2X/ (P₁+P₂) ×4×1.22×100=2459-41X/P₁+P₂
_??_ST₃₀=120-3Z/ (P₁+P₂) ×4×1.20×100=2500-63Z/P₁+P₂
_??_ST₃₀=120-3Z/ (P₁+P₂) ×4×1.38×100=2174-63Z/P₁+P₂
X, Y and Z show frequency of impossible in each exercise.
The above index itself can be compared with index in another person, but for the individual SAT/KT and ST/KT show that balance of moving and in case need SAT+ KT and SAT+KT+ST can be compared as the whole body endurance.
After this, we are expected to investigate whether the health degree in each individual can be observated or not, by these methods.
