Prior to a twelve week conditioning period subjects were assessed for maximum oxygen uptake (VO{dollar}\\sb2{dollar} max) and time on treadmill (TOT) using a graded treadmill test. Muscular leg strength was measured using Bally's Life Fitness Machines, averaging three maximum knee flexion lifts and extension lifts. These same measurements were repeated following the 12 week aerobic bench stepping conditioning program.
