Thirty volunteer college women are randomly assigned to different work intensities to determine the threshold of cardiovascular training for young, untrained women. A Quinton 607 Heartrate Controller maintined the specified work intensity on a treadmill. Training consisted of 15 minutes of work, three times per week for one month. Workload was…

This study is based upon a doctoral dissertation completed at the University of Southern California, 1965.

This paper shows that simple cardiovascular training can reduce the composition of body fat in college women. (RC)

Reported are effects on physical work capacity, cardiovascular function, and body composition of training programs (walking or jogging) for adult males which in intensity and frequency. (GW)

Reported are effects of an 8-week running program on the cardiorespiratory fitness of normal 10- to 12-year-old males. (GW)

This paper presents information on the effectiveness of exercise programs for heart attack victims. Some of the observations come from unpublished results of a two year experiment of the National Exercise and Heart Disease Project. The paper first establishes that a group exercise program with trained supervision is advantageous for people with…

It was concluded in this study that frequency of training is an important determinant in eliciting changes in cardiovascular and performance variables and in body composition. (JD)

This book attempts to systematize and generalize the data of world literature concerning the advantages of fast walking and slow running for persons with various cardiovascular diseases. The information and the fitness program outlined are based on experience and research conducted at the Nadezha Health Club in Smolensk, Russia. Major risk factors…

Tests are described that were given to 1,000 students randomly selected at grade 7-9 levels with an equal representation from both sexes. Participants were selected from two junior high schools in North York for a study comparing students in a regular physical education program to those in a program to develop cardiovascular endurance. The first…

The primary purpose of this study was to determine if a specific daily indoor exercise program of a short duration improved the aerobic fitness level of junior high school students between the ages of 12 and 14. A secondary purpose was to compare the performance of participating students with Canadian norms for working capacity and fitness. Also…
