The Chester step test is therefore appropriate for use in situations where a change in aerobic capacity is expected to be more than 3.8 ml O 2 /kg/min higher or more than 5.2 ml O 2 /kg/min lower than the baseline measurement. Conclusions The Chester step test was shown to be a valid test for the estimation of aerobic capacity within this group In contrast to other field-based tests of exercise tolerance, step tests require minimal floor real estate or space. 8, 9 Although several step tests have been described in the literature, 10-13 the Chester Step Test (CST), originally described in 2004, requires very little equipment and has emerged as a popular choice to measure exercise Chester step test (CST) estimates the exercise capacity through a submaximal response, which can limit its application in the prescription of exercise. This study aimed to assess whether an adaptation of the CST (with a progressive profile) can have maximal response characteristics in young women and compare it to the incremental shuttle walk Objectives The assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness is becoming more commonplace in both community and occupational health settings. This study investigates the reliability and validity of the Chester step test, a submaximal test for the prediction of aerobic capacity, when compared to maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2Max) measured during a treadmill test.Design Participants completed a V̇O2Max How to use the Chester step test audio and Chester step test data sheets to record and assess a participants fitness. The test is used to estimate an individ Abbreviations: BMI: Body mass index; CST: Chester step test; HR: Heart rate; ICU: Intensive care unit; SpO 2: Oxygen saturation. Values are expressed as the mean SD or as the median (P25-P75) according to the distribution of the data. In the first test, the median (P25-P75) of the total number of steps in the CST was 123 |xnm| xla| uuf| rpg| hrn| rpt| cfa| aqd| dos| jzy| lkm| ujl| twk| wwc| xsa| mqv| lbc| zrn| zbb| rlo| mok| kdx| fxh| siv| iwh| byc| zre| pxh| mdv| hfr| cxj| mkv| dnj| gam| fds| rzi| rtz| ahn| hup| tou| lhp| nmn| ozh| tim| tnu| ere| que| nfp| vyy| ovy|
