Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of two different programs of isometric exercise upon cardiovascular efficiency and selected anthropometric girth measurements: upper arm, waist, hips, thigh, and calf. Subjects for the study were forty-four college women enrolled in recreational sports classes at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro during the spring semester of 19&7. The subjects were divided into three groups: Control who did not exercise, Experimental 1 who used a six-second contraction, and Experimental 2 who used a twelve-second contraction. The experimental groups used a program of seven selected isometric exercises daily for five weeks. Each subject was administered the Skubic-Hodgkins Cardiovascular Efficiency Test for College Women and girth measurements were taken at the beginning and end of the experiment.
