Why the study?
Does the incremental shuttle-walking test protocol have the same metabolic cost as treadmill walking or predicted values of walking-speed equations in cardiac rehabilitation patients?

The energetic demands of shuttle walking differ fundamentally from treadmill walking, indicating that standard ACSM walking-speed equations should not be used to estimate the metabolic cost of shuttle walking in cardiac rehabilitation patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Shuttle walking energy costs differ from treadmill in cardiac rehab; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change ACSM equation use.
Almodhy et al. (2014) studied this question.
