First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a 6-minute pegboard and ring test—a simple, low-cost task of moving rings between pegs—can reliably measure upper body exercise capacity in people with coronary artery disease. Researchers will compare the results to standard cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The goal is to find an easy way to assess fitness in clinics without special equipment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide doctors with a quick, cheap, and easy way to assess upper body fitness in heart disease patients without expensive equipment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (32 people) that only checks if the test is reliable and valid—it does not test any treatment. Results may not apply to all heart patients.
