HKUST PACER Challenge

HKUST PACER Challenge Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) is a 15-meter shuttle run test synchronizing with the paced “beep” sounds. What is PACER?

Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) is a scientific shuttle run test for measuring and evaluating cardio-respiratory fitness of children, adolescents and young adults. Participants are required to run between two 15-meter-apart markers, synchronizing with the paced “beep” sounds. As the Run proceeds, participants are required to run faster progressively in matching the faster

frequency of the “beep” sounds. The Run will be ended when the participant fails to keep the synchronization the second time. What is our objectives?

1. To allow participants to know their current cardio-respiratory fitness levels , thus enhancing their awareness of the importance, ways to maintain and improve individual’s cardio-respiratory fitness.

2. To allow local and non-local participants of the local institutions to integrate and know more about the diverse sports cultures of fellow students coming from different backgrounds.

3. To allow the project team members to gain the invaluable experience in event management, promoting health and wellness to the campus community as well as other students in Hong Kong. Please click the following for your information:
