Incremental shuttle walk test: Reference values and predictive equation for healthy Indian adults.
PURPOSE Physical inactivity in Indians is leading to an increase in noncommunicable disorders at an early age in life. Early identification and quantification of the lack of physical activity using simple and reliable exercise testing is the need of the hour. The incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) is an externally paced walk test widely used for the evaluation of exercise capacity. Currently ...
متن کاملReference values for the incremental shuttle walk test in healthy subjects: from the walk distance to physiological responses *,**
OBJECTIVE To determine reference values for incremental shuttle walk distance (ISWD) and peak physiological responses during the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT), as well as to develop a series of predictive equations for those variables in healthy adults. METHODS We evaluated 103 healthy participants > 40 years of age (54 women and 49 men). We fitted each participant with a gas analysis ...
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...
متن کاملSix-minute walk test: reference values for healthy adults in Brazil.
OBJECTIVE To develop regression equations for six-minute walk distance (6MWD) in healthy adults (20-80 years of age) in Brazil. METHODS We included 132 volunteers (66 males) without respiratory disease, cardiac disease, or comorbidities that affect ambulation. The volunteers completed three six-minute walk tests. Prior to and at the end of each test, we obtained SpO2 and maximal HR, as well a...
متن کاملSix-Minute Walk Test: Reference Values and Prediction Equation in Healthy Boys Aged 5 to12 Years
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to (1) generate normative data in healthy boys aged 5-12 years for the six-minute walk test (6MWT), an outcome measure currently used in clinical trials in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), (2) to describe the relation with anthropometric variables and myometry, and (3) to compare our data with published equations. METHODS The 6MWT was conducted in 442 boys accordi...
