Key result
A submaximal cardiovascular step test for men aged 18 to 60 years demonstrated a test-retest reliability coefficient of .94 and a validity coefficient of .94 against the Balke Treadmill Test.

May support accessible fitness testing in men; leaves open clinical adoption pending larger validation studies.
Is the newly developed submaximal cardiovascular step test reliable and valid compared to the Balke Treadmill Test in men aged 18-60?
A newly developed submaximal cardiovascular step test demonstrates high reliability and validity for assessing cardiovascular fitness in men aged 18 to 60 years.
Kurucz et al. (1969) studied this question. A submaximal cardiovascular step test for men aged 18 to 60 years demonstrated a test-retest reliability coefficient of .94 and a validity coefficient of .94 against the Balke Treadmill Test.
