Summary

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).
