The Queens College Step test is one of many variations of step test procedures, used to determine aerobic fitness. Compared to the Harvard Step Test, this version has a lower step height, slower cadence, shorter test duration and more simple analysis.
This document outlines the Queens College Step Test protocol for assessing cardiovascular fitness. The test involves stepping up and down on a 16.25 inch step in time with a metronome for 3 minutes. Heart rate is monitored before, during, and after the test.
Consider the Queens College Step Test, which requires clients to exercise for 3 minutes on a 16.25-inch (0.41 m) step with stepping rates of 22 and 24 steps·min −1 for women and men, respectively.
The following are national norms for 16 to 19-year-olds (Davis 2000) [2]. To estimate your VO 2 max, enter the number of heartbeats counted in 15 seconds and then select the 'Calculate' button. Calculations are based on the normative data table. To analysis your VO 2 max score, visit the VO 2 max page. Analysis.
Queens College Step Test Procedure. REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: a 41.7cm step, stop watch, heart rate monitor, metronome (or app), clipboard, pen, Fitness Testing Recording Form.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the reliability of the Queen’s College 3-minute step test as a predictor of VO2max for college aged healthy women. METHODS: Six women (W; age; 19.7 ± 1.6 yrs) of the UTA student population volunteered to participate in this study.
Administer the Queen’s College Step Test and calculate your estimated VO 2 max based on the results. This test is similar to the YMCA 3 Minute Step Test but is more challenging, and gives you an estimate of your VO2max.
