Chester step test in patients with COPD: reliability and correlation with pulmonary function test results.
BACKGROUND The 5-stage Chester step test assesses aerobic capacity in healthy subjects. It has not been tested in patients with COPD. OBJECTIVE To determine the reliability of the Chester step test in patients with COPD and correlation with pulmonary function test and exercise test results. METHODS Thirty-two patients (mean ± SD FEV(1) 46 ± 15% of predicted) undertook 2 Chester step tests a...
متن کاملValidity and reliability of the Chester step test for prediction of the aerobic capacity among Iranian students
Background: Assessment of aerobic capacity is of vital importance in both general community and occupational settings. Valid, reliable and feasible tests are required to indicate the functionality of cardiopulmonary system. The present study was carried out aiming to evaluate the suitability of the Chester step test (CST) as a field test to measure the Iranians’ aerobic capacity. Materials ...
متن کاملAdapting the "Chester step test" to predict peak oxygen uptake in children.
AIM OF THE STUDY Maximal exercise testing may be difficult to perform in clinical practice, especially in obese children who have low cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise tolerance. We aimed to elaborate a model predicting peak oxygen consumption (VO2) in lean and obese children with use of the submaximal Chester step test. METHODS We performed a maximal step test, which consisted of 2-minu...
متن کاملReliability and validity of measures taken during the Chester step test to predict aerobic power and to prescribe aerobic exercise.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the reliability and validity of measures taken during the Chester step test (CST) used to predict VO(2)max and prescribe subsequent exercise. METHODS The CST was performed twice on separate days by 7 males and 6 females aged 22.4 (SD 4.6) years. Heart rate (HR), ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), and oxygen uptake (VO(2)) were measured at each stage of the CST. RESU...
متن کاملChester step test: assessment of functional capacity and magnitude of cardiorespiratory response in patients with COPD and healthy subjects.
BACKGROUND the assessment of functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been performed by simple and easy to apply methods that mimic everyday activities, such as the Chester step test (TChester). OBJECTIVES to investigate whether TChester is able to differentiate functional capacity and the magnitude of cardiorespiratory response of patients with CO...
