Key Result

The Harvard step test demonstrated that student athletes have high anaerobic physical working capacity, with 80% exhibiting a normotonic cardiovascular reaction and recovering within 5 minutes.

Key Points

The research investigates the functional status of the cardiovascular system in student athletes before and after physical exercise.
Harvard Step Test was utilized to measure heart rate and arterial blood pressure.
Participants included student athletes undergoing physical exertion.
Data collected allowed for analysis of anaerobic physical performance.
Heart rates and arterial blood pressures were measured before and after exercise.
Athletes demonstrated good recovery capacity in cardiovascular function after physical exertion.
Findings confirm that the Harvard Step Test is effective for assessing physical performance in well-prepared athletes.

Study Design

Type

Observational (n=100)

Structured PICO

Can the Harvard step test be used to evaluate the functional state of the cardiovascular system and physical work capacity in student athletes?

Population

100 student athletes from the Azerbaijan State Academy of Physical Education and Sport assessed for cardiovascular functional state before and after physical load.

Exposure

Harvard step test (physical load)

Comparator

Baseline (before physical load)

Outcome

Heart rate and arterial blood pressuresurrogate

The Harvard Step Test is a valid tool for assessing the physical work capacity and cardiovascular functional state of well-trained student athletes.

Limitations

Some athletes exhibited a hypertonic reaction due to irregular training, indicating a lack of physical readiness.
Small sample size for the hypertonic reaction group (n=4).

Abstract

Tələbə idmançılarda ürəkdamar sisteminin funksional vəziyyətini öyrənmək üçün fiziki yükdən əvvəl və sonra (Harvard step testi) ürək vurğularının sayı və arterial qan təzyiqi ölçülürdü. Əldə edilən məlumatlar idmançı-tələbələrin anaerob fiziki iş qabiliyyətini yüksək qiymətləndirməyə imkan verir. Qan dövranını bərpa etmək qabiliyyəti yaxşı idi. Alınan nəticələr təsdiqləyir ki, Harvard Step Testi yaxşı hazırlanmış idmançıların fiziki iş qabiliyyətini qiymətləndirmək üçün istifadə edilə bilər
