Summary
This study looked at whether the incremental shuttle walk test (a walking test that gets faster over time) is a valid and reliable way to measure exercise capacity in 120 people with type 2 diabetes. Participants did the test twice, one week apart, and also did a standard six-minute walk test. The goal was to see if the shuttle walk test gives consistent and accurate results for this group.
