Physiologic Variables in Healthy Women in Shuttle Walk Test

Analysis of Physiologic Variables in Healthy Women in Shuttle Walk Test

To analyze the alterations of physiologic variables in healthy sedentary women in the Shuttle Walk Test, verify the distance reached and interruption causes of the test.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Shuttle walk test

Detailed Description

The Shuttle Walk Test requires patients to walk at a gradually increasing speed, up and down a 10 meter corridor identified by two marker cones, until they reach a symptom limited maximum. The walking speed was externally paced and controlled by a series of beeps played on a compact disk.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Exercise Capacity; Individuals from the female gender; age range of 20 to 30 years old; considered healthy (i.e. with no diagnosed health condition; considered sedentary (i.e. performing less than 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week); will be asked to volunteer in the research and perform a exercise capacity test.	Other: Shuttle walk test; the test requires patients to walk at a gradually increasing speed, up and down a 10 m course identified by two marker cones, until they reach a symptom limited maximum. The walking speed was externally paced and controlled by a series of beeps played on a compact disk.; Other Names: Shuttle Walking Test; Exercise Capacity Test
