![]() Conclusion: The developed norms for measuring cardiovascular endurance has a direct linear relationship with age and gender. It will also help coaches and trainers to design a training plan accordingly. The norms will guide and direct the Indian youth about their cardiovascular fitness status. Applications: Norms are necessary to test, compare, analyze and evaluate one’s strengths and weaknesses. Norms were developed for the Indian youth aged 18 – 25 years. Although the R2 value is very less, the model developed by including both the variables was found to be significant. Results and Discussions: The results of the study shows that variables age and gender have a significant relationship with the results of the beep test. Different statistical methods were opted for analysing the relationship between the variables, normalization and visualization of data and the development of norms. Beep test was used for measuring cardiovascular endurance. Materials and Method: For the purpose of the study a sample of 3845 male (19.97 ± 1.81 years) and 3393 female (20.11 ± 1.9 years) university students were selected for the study. There is a paucity of literature on the development of the cardiovascular endurance test norms for the Indian population. Novelty: To the best of our knowledge none of the studies has been done before for the development of the cardiovascular endurance test norms for the Indian population. Objective: To develop the norms for cardiovascular endurance test for Indian youth aged 18 – 25 years. Correct measurement of such fitness component is very vital for all. Improving the overall exercise capacity with cardiovascular endurance will increase life expectancy and significantly reduce the chances of several heart diseases. ![]() Introduction: Cardiovascular endurance is the most important fitness component which shows the efficiency of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen-rich blood to the working group of muscles. ![]()
