How the test works
Take a one-minute baseline recording in a sitting position, then stand up gradually and maintain that position for two minutes. This will measure your heart rate. When you stand up, the heart rate starts rising due to the body’s internal regulatory system adjusts cardiovascular function to check that the upper part of the body gets enough blood supply and oxygen consumption. The regulatory system allows the heart rate to drop until it makes full recovery. Less efficient cardiovascular system takes a long recovery time, and the less capable the body is to withhold physical exertion. The most sudden drop in heart rate should happen in the first 15 seconds after observing the highest level of the heart rate. For a fit person, this program works very quickly. This drop in heart-rate is an indicator of cardiovascular health and the body’s ability to perform rigorous activities.
