CALCULATION OF






For females, the following equation is used:

The example below shows how to use the equation for males. The data is for a 21-year-old male whose all-out, 2-mile-run time is 12 minutes and 36 seconds.
STEP1. Express the 2-mile-run time as a decimal, and insert it into the equation. When 12 minutes 36 seconds is written as decimal, it becomes 12.60 minutes. (To determine what fraction of a minute 36 seconds is, divide 36 seconds by the number of seconds in one minute, that is, 60 seconds. Thus, 36/60 = 0.60. This fraction is added to the minute value to give 12.60 as the run time expressed as a decimal.) After putting the decimal form into the equation, the equation should resemble the one below.

STEP 2. Multiply the decimal form of the 2-mile-run time by 3.35. In this case, we get [3.35 x (12.60)], which equals 42.21. At this point, the equation should resemble the one below.

STEP 3. Subtract the product obtained in Step 2 from 99.7. For our example, we make the following subtraction: 99.7 -[42.21]. This gives a value of 57.49. Thus, the equation should look like the one below.
