U.S., Sept. 19 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07829003) titled 'Validation of a Novel Incremental Step Test for Assessment of Cardiopulmonary Fitness and Ventilatory Thresholds in Adults' on Sept. 08.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this single-group diagnostic validation and test-retest reliability study is to determine whether a novel Incremental Step Test (IST) can accurately assess cardiorespiratory fitness and ventilatory thresholds in healthy adults compared with an established laboratory-based cycle ergometer Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET). The main questions are whether the step test can elicit reliable physiological responses sufficient to identify the anaerobic threshold and respi...
