Step Test
The Step Test is a simple exercise assessment used to measure cardiovascular fitness and how efficiently the heart and lungs work together. It involves stepping up and down on a platform at a steady pace for a few minutes. Immediately after, your heart rate is measured, usually by counting pulse beats for a short time. A quicker recovery rate indicates better fitness. This test helps evaluate how well your body responds to physical activity and can be used for fitness monitoring or health evaluations.
