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 …

2012年9月24日 · 对于患有中度和重度慢性阻塞性肺病患者来说，测试已可能是症状限制的最大运动强度测试。 测试空间 建议最短距离为30米。 约需要12米。 仪器 不需要使用特别仪器。 使用者需要购买测试用的光盘或磁带。 光盘播放机或盒式磁带录音机。 复杂性 容易了解测试方法，因此也适用于患有轻度认知功能障碍或母语是非英语的人士。 较复杂，因为包含双重作业。 施行时间 6分钟。 再加上在步行前和恢复期的指标量度时间。 最长是12分钟。 很多患者只能完成9分钟 …

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.

2007年7月1日 · 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

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.

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.

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.

The ISWT is simple to perform and, in contrast to the 6MWT, requires a 10-m rather than 30-m corridor, with an average time to complete the test of approximately 3 minutes, making it straightforward to incorporate into clinical practice.
