CHESTER TREADMILL TEST
This test has two modes: CTT Performance and CTT Prediction (of Aerobic Capacity).
CTT PERFORMANCE
CTT Performance is a 12-minute graded, treadmill walk test with a xed speed of 6.2km/hr designed to
assess whether or not the subject can achieve the minimum recommended standard for aerobic capacity,
namely 42mlsO2/kg/min.
Procedures:
1. Check there are no medical contraindications to performing exhaustive exercise
2. Subject walks at 6.2km/hr at 0% for 2 mins
3. Every 2 mins increase gradient by 3%
4. Test is completed after 12 mins
5. Test should be stopped if subject is showing overt signs of distress and exhaustion or RPE=18+
CTT PREDICTION
CTT Prediction is a submaximal test designed to predict aerobic capacity
1. Same walk protocol as CTT Performance but wearing HR monitor
2. Test is stopped when the subject reaches 80%HRMax or RPE=14
3. A VO2 score is given at the end of the test
