February 25, 2025 updated by: Yasemin ACAR, Siirt University
The aim of this study is to evaluate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the incremental shuttle walk test in university students.

Detailed Description

The incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) is a valid and reliable field test developed to evaluate functional exercise capacity. This test requires the participant to walk up and down a 10 m course marked by two cones placed 9 m apart. The walking speed, determined by an audio signal, is slow at first, but gradually increases every minute.

Although validity and reliability studies have been conducted in different disease groups and healthy populations, there is no study evaluating the inter-rater reliability of the incremental shuttle walk test in healthy individuals. Our research aims to evaluate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the incremental shuttle walk test in university students.For this purpose, undergraduate nursing students will be included in our research.ISWT will be administered to students by two different researchers on the same day. For test-retest reliability the ISWT will be administered again by the same researchers on a different day (retest).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incremental Shuttle Walk Test Results
Time Frame: At baseline and within 2-7 days after first assessment
The number of completed shuttles will be recorded, and the total incremental shuttle walk distance (ISWD) will be calculated. Heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure, saturation, perceived dyspnea, and fatigue according to the modified Borg scale will be assessed before, at the end of the test, and after a 5-min recovery.
At baseline and within 2-7 days after first assessment
