Abstract

To develop a simple test of endurance capacity, we evaluated the usefulness of 15 m Shuttle Walk & Run Test (15 mSWRT). We found that each level in 15 mSWRT was correlated with average oxygen intake (r=0.948), and the average oxygen intake of level 12 in 15 mSWRT was 51.18 ± 8.28 ml/kg/min. There was a significant correlation between average oxygen intake and the walking distance. In addition, 15 mSWRT had a higher maximum work rate than the 10 m Shuttle Walking Test (10 mSWT). These results suggest that 15 mSWRT has usefulness as a simple test of endurance capacity that can be performed safely over a wide range of ages, from middle-aged to elderly people.<br>
