Exercise Testing

Does anyone perform the shuttle Walk Test in their cardiac rehab? There are multiple cardiac rehab programs in my healthcare system that don't perform an initial assessment like a 6MWT. Common reasons include lack of space and not seeing the value in performing an assessment. As a result, I've been tasked with providing alternative assessments that don't require a lot of space and I want to present the shuttle Walk test as an option. Since the shuttle Walk test is a beep test I need to find the right cadence and I can't seem to find a good recording or download of the beep test. Apparently there are CDs that other programs use or MP3 downloads but I can't seem to find them.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi Kirill,

If you are refering to the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT), here is what I found: The ISWT is available from Prof Sally Singh, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Glenfield Hospital NHS Trust, Groby Road, Leicester LE3 9QP, UK or email: visit University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust for further information on how to access.
