Priest, Simon; Montelpare, William
Journal of Experiential Education, v18 n1 p25-29 May 1995
This study identified the highest heart rates attained on a ropes course for a corporate population; examined relationships between highest heart rate and other physical measures (basal heart rate, blood pressure, height, weight, body girths, cholesterol, maximum number of pushups, and heart rate after brisk walk); and developed an equation for screening men's cardiac risk for a ropes course.
