The test takes 3–5 minutes and consists of walking 6 meters between 2 parallel lines measured 8”, 12” and 15” across in width. The test is scored based on number of stepping errors, i.e. stepping on a line (+1) or stepping over a line (+2), where a higher score denotes decrease performance and total time to perform walk. [2]
The Tecumseh step test is an exercise test that researchers use to determine a person's cardiovascular fitness level. The Tecumseh step test is a modified version of the Harvard Step Test, [1] and was developed by Professor Henry J. Montoye at the Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan. The main differences ...
The test score is the time taken on the test, in minutes. This can also be converted to an estimated maximal oxygen uptake score using the calculator below and the following formulas, where the value "T" is the total time completed (expressed in minutes and fractions of a minute e.g. 9 minutes 15 seconds = 9.25 minutes).
The Tactual Performance Test (TPT) is a neuropsychological test that attempts to measure motor abilities and the recall of motor stimuli. This test requires the use of a blindfold, which taxes subsystems involved in motor and motor-memory. [1] The TPT is also included in the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery. [2]
The pack test may be given as part of the S-130/S-190 basic wildland firefighter course. The pack test replaced as of the late 1990s an earlier physical fitness test called the step test, which measured physical fitness based on beginning and ending heart rate after a short workout on a set of stairs. It was believed that the pack test more ...
The multi-stage fitness test was first described by Luc Léger [6] with the original 1-minute protocol, which starts at a speed of 8.5 km/h, and increases by 0.5 km/h each minute. Other variations of the test have also been developed, where the protocol starts at a speed of 8.0 km/h and with either 1 or 2-minute stages, but the original ...
The Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. [ 1 ] It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around 180 degrees, walk back to the chair, and sit down while turning 180 degrees.
The Margaria–Kalamen test is an assessment that monitors athlete’s strength and power of lower extremities and helps coaches to see if the athlete’s training program is effective. This test was introduced by J Kalamen (1968) [ 1 ] and is a variation of the original Margaria step test developed by Rudolfo Margaria (1966).
