FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, to physiology and sports medicine. Tested people perform step-test under the metronome for 4 minutes with step height 0.4 m at rate 30 times per 1 minute and coefficient of eccentric work 2.2; all data are multiplied by tested person's weight. After the end of step-test tested people sat down, no measurements of their parameters were conducted, on the 2-nd, 3-rd and 4-th minutes of rest pulse was counted for first 30 seconds, the pulse sum was multiplied by 2 to convert its rate in 1 minute. After that work for 4 minutes in kgm is divided by doubled sum of pulse rate and step-test index is calculated.
EFFECT: method makes it possible to estimate general physical work capacity of well-trained young people and heart work efficiency.
