Incremental shuttle walking testNear infrared spectroscopyTissue oxygenationCalf muscle tissue oxygenationPeople with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication (IC) experience impaired walking due to an imbalance between muscle oxygen supply and demand during exercise. Studies with near-...
The Rockport Walking Test is a fitness test that is designed to assess someone’s VO2max, which is the term used to describe maximal oxygen uptake, an important measure of physical fitness. In this article, I will define the Rockport Walking Test, how it’s perfect for measuring your fitne...
The Rockport walking test is an evaluation you can self-administer to determine your cardiovascular fitness.1The test measures your VO2 max, the maximum amount of oxygen you can utilize during intense exercise, measured in milliliters of oxygen used per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/k...
The Six-Minute Walking Test (SMWT) was completed just in few times in apparently healthy young individuals and university students, while the maximal volume of oxygen consumption (VO 2max ) prediction has not been taken into consideration. The aim of this study was to elaborate a prediction eq...
Walk tests are often used to evaluate oxygen uptake as an exercise effect, but have not yet been evaluated for use in patients with RA. The aim was to investigate the correlation between a submaximal cycle ergometer test (cycle test) and the Six-minute walk (walk test), and whether ...
To determine if a five-minute walking field test can be a valid indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with arthritis, distances walked were examined in relation to directly measured maximum oxygen consumption values. Pre- and post-exercise intervention data were obtained from five ...

Novel motor-assisted elliptical training intervention improves 6-minute walk test and oxygen cost for an individual with progressive supranuclear palsy. Cardiopulm Phys Ther J. 2015;26(2):36–41. https://doi.org/10.1097/CPT.0000000000000007. Article Google Scholar Huisinga JM, Schmid KK, Filip...
maximal effort. There was only a slight relation between lung function at rest and quality of life. The COPD patient's cardiovascular, metabolic and subjective responses to the shuttle walking test are similar to those of the cycle ergometer test, and oxygen consumption is significantly correlated....
