• the length of time it takes the heart rate to return to 120 bpm following the 1.5 mile run test

• the difference between the maximal heart rate and the resting heart rate

• the product of the heart rate and blood pressure at rest versus exercise

• the time it takes a person to reach a heart rate between 120 and 170 during the 1.0 mile walk test

An "excellent" cardiorespiratory fitness rating in mL/kg/min for young male adults is about -

• the capability of muscles to stretch beyond their normal resting length without injury to the muscles.

• the capacity of muscles to return to their proper

  length following the application of a stretching force.

• the limitations placed on muscles as the joints move

  through their normal planes.
