Abstract

The aim of the present study was to design and produce an athletic metronome to predict cardio-respiratory fitness in the field step tests. Project execution: the hardware was assembled using electronic devices. The processor is an ATMEGA8 micro-controller which has been designed using Basic language in Bascom environment. In order to analyze the apparatus accuracy in program and manual sections, the two Snagit9 and Audio Editor Gold softwares were employed. The obtained results: the introduced apparatus can make 1 to 200 beeps per minute in the manual section flawlessly. In the program section, it can precisely carry out several step test such as Harvard, Bailey and Mirwarld, Astrand Rhyming, Tecumesh, Yoshinaga, Queen, Mc Ardle, Hodgknis, YMCA, Nagel, Harvard (modified by Astrand) and Siconolfi, all without error. In the case of OSU, East Michigan and cutten step tests, it can perform each stage of the tests flawlessly but delays 3 to 4 seconds in the total time while performing a single test. Conclusion: in line with the results, the introduced apparatus can produce 1 to 200 beeps per minute with high precision and can perform 15 step tests accurately.
