The incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) was developed to simulate a cardiopulmonary exercise test using a field walking test.

The main purpose of the ISWT is to assess a person's functional exercise capacity, particularly their ability to walk at increasing intensities. This test can be used to: Evaluate Exercise Capacity: It provides insight into how much physical activity a …

The incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) is an externally-paced incremental walking test. 37 Subjects are required to walk around two markers 9 m apart (10 m course). Single audio cues (beeps) signal the time at which the subject is expected to turn at the marker. Walking speed is increased each minute.

The ISWT is a simple, multilevel, externally paced test requiring clients to walk progressively faster each minute. Although each of the 12 levels lasts 1 minute, the required number of 10-m trips (shuttles) between two opposite cones, the walking speed, and the corresponding oxygen cost increase incrementally.

The incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) is an externally paced walk test widely used for the evaluation of exercise capacity. Currently the normative values available for clinical reference are generated from Western populations.

Background: The incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) is used to assess exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is employed as an outcome measure for pulmonary rehabilitation. This study was designed to establish the minimum clinically important difference for the ISWT.

10m Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) The 10m multi-stage fitness test is an aerobic fitness test designed to assess functional capacity of patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) .

Purpose: The Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) is an important functional and prognostic marker in chronic disease. Aging has a detrimental effect on exercise performance.

递增往返步行试验（incremental shuttle walk test，ISWT）是用于测定COPD病人运动容量的试验，试验时采用的步行速度是预先设定好的。 但是在进行ESWT时是采用在递增步行试验的最大

The ISWT is reliable, represents functional capacity, and induces greater desaturation than cycling. Age, body composition, pulmonary function, dyspnea, and physical activity in daily life are determinants of the distance walked on the ISWT.
