A Model of Dickson Index Corrected for Pupils

Öz

Ruffier – Dickson test is a popular method in school physical education because of a simple procedure and apparatuses, good reliability and validity in evaluation of physical capacity. It is well-known in sports and physical rehabilitation too. The aim of the research is to prepare a model of Dickson index, which should be suitable for school physical education. Two ways to reach this purpose, taking into account a normal heart rate in rest corresponding to pupil’s age (70–102 min-1), are proposed. They are a model of correction of Dickson index formula and a model of correction of assessment gradations. A ratio of a normal heart rate in rest of school age pupils and adults should be accepted as a parameter of correction of Dickson index formula. Three measures of heart rate values in Ruffier – Dickson test should be reduced proportionally to this ratio. Application of the corrected formula results in a statistically significant improvement in assessment of young patients’ cardiovascular system state (p < 0.01). The results of modeling are presented in simple tabular and graphical forms that are suitable for humanists who are unready to use mathematical methods.
