Conclusions

The following conclusions are justified from the data presented in this investigation.

  1. 1.

    In order to obtain a pulse-ratio of 2.5 a trained subject requires eight trials of exercise 1, nine trials of exercise 2, eight trials of exercise 3, nine trials of exercise 4, and seven trials of exercise 5.

  2. 2.

    A survey of men in physical education classes, who receive the regular class instruction, shows that the group is heterogeneous, containing good, medium and poor performers on the parallel bars. For the most part these students are far inferior to those who specialize in this activity, although a few are equally as good.

  3. 3.

    The pulse-ratio test definitely points out differences in efficiency in performing on the parallel bars. It is reliable for picking out those who are proficient as well as indicating those who are inefficient.
