متن کاملA progressive shuttle run test to estimate maximal oxygen uptake.
The purpose of the present study was to examine the validity of using a 20 m progressive shuttle run test to estimate maximal oxygen uptake. Running ability was described as the final level attained on the shuttle run test and as time on a 5 km run. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) was determined directly for seventy-four volunteers (36 men, 38 women) who also completed the shuttle run test. Max...
متن کاملAssessment of Functional Capacity in Chagas Heart Disease by Incremental Shuttle Walk Test and its Relation to Quality-of-Life
BACKGROUND The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is considered to be the gold standard to evaluate functional capacity (FC) in patients with heart failure. However, field tests such as the 6-min walk test (6MWT) and the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) are simple and effective in evaluating the same. Despite the increasing use of ISWT, no studies that used the test in patients with Chaga...
متن کاملDoes the incremental shuttle walk test require maximal effort in young obese women?
Obesity is a chronic disease with a multifaceted treatment approach that includes nutritional counseling, structured exercise training, and increased daily physical activity. Increased body mass elicits higher cardiovascular, ventilatory and metabolic demands to varying degrees during exercise. With functional capacity assessment, this variability can be evaluated so individualized guidance for...
متن کاملThe incremental shuttle walk test in older Brazilian adults.
BACKGROUND Despite widespread use of the incremental shuttle walk distance (ISWD), there are no reference equations for predicting it. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate ISWD in healthy subjects and to establish a reference equation for its prediction. METHODS 131 Brazilian individuals (61 males; 59 ± 10 years) performed 2 walk tests in a 10-m long corridor. We assessed height, weight, body ma...
