“…The Shuttle Ride Test (SRiT), derived from the well-known and frequently used Shuttle Run Test in youth who are ambulatory, has been used in other clinical populations and seems to be the most appropriate maximal aerobic field test for measuring aerobic fitness in youth with spina bifida who use a wheelchair for mobility and sport. 8 , 9 During the SRiT, which is a stepwise incremental maximal exercise test, children propel their wheelchair back and forth to exhaustion with a standardized increasing speed between 2 lines that are 10 m apart. The main outcome measure is the number of shuttles they achieved, with 1 shuttle corresponding to approximately 1 minute of wheelchair propulsion.…”

“… 11 , 12 In children with osteogenesis imperfecta, poor correlations were found between VO 2peak and the outcome measure shuttles. 9 Furthermore, the importance of anaerobic performance and agility during the SRiT has been hypothesized, as turning, deceleration, and acceleration seem to be important skills during the SRiT. 8 , 12 At the same time both personal aspects (eg, age) and wheelchair features may play an important role in the number of shuttles that a child achieves during the SRiT.…”

“…The SRiT is highly reliable in youth with CP and osteogenesis imperfecta who use a wheelchair for mobility and sport, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of greater than .95. 8 , 9 The reliability of the SRiT has yet to be established in youth with spina bifida who use a wheelchair for mobility and sport.…”

BackgroundTesting aerobic fitness in youth is important because of expected relationships with health.ObjectiveThe purpose of the study was to estimate the validity and reliability of the Shuttle Ride Test in youth who have spina bifida and use a wheelchair for mobility and sport.DesignThs study is a validity and reliability study.MethodsThe Shuttle Ride Test, Graded Wheelchair Propulsion Test, and skill-related fitness tests were administered to 33 participants for the validity study (age = 14.5 ± 3.1 y) and to 28 participants for the reliability study (age = 14.7 ± 3.3 y).ResultsNo significant differences were found between the Graded Wheelchair Propulsion Test and the Shuttle Ride Test for most cardiorespiratory responses. Correlations between the Graded Wheelchair Propulsion Test and the Shuttle Ride Test were moderate to high (r = .55–.97). The variance in peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) could be predicted for 77% of the participants by height, number of shuttles completed, and weight, with large prediction intervals. High correlations were found between number of shuttles completed and skill-related fitness tests (CI = .73 to −.92). Intraclass correlation coefficients were high (.77–.98), with a smallest detectable change of 1.5 for number of shuttles completed and with coefficients of variation of 6.2% and 6.4% for absolute VO2peak and relative VO2peak, respectively.ConclusionsWhen measuring VO2peak directly by using a mobile gas analysis system, the Shuttle Ride Test is highly valid for testing VO2peak in youth who have spina bifida and use a wheelchair for mobility and sport. The outcome measure of number of shuttles represents aerobic fitness and is also highly correlated with both anaerobic performance and agility. It is not possible to predict VO2peak accurately by using the number of shuttles completed. Moreover, the Shuttle Ride Test is highly reliable in youth with spina bifida, with a good smallest detectable change for the number of shuttles completed.
