Abstract
Resting brachial pulse waves were recorded on 48 of the 68 participants in the NCAA cross-country championship race. Various measurements of the pulse wave were correlated with the official run time of the performers. Most of the measurements were significantly related to run time, but the coefficients of correlation were low. Pulse rate gave the highest coefficient, 0.52. Dividing the pulse wave measurements by surface area of the subject did not improve the relationships.
