The results of the ISWT can be used to prescribe the intensity of walking training (see Exercise Training section).
Each shuttle represents a distance of ten metres (i.e each time the patient reaches a cone is 1 shuttle).
Note: The ISWT is available from Prof Sally Singh, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Glenfield Hospital NHS Trust, Groby Road, Leicester LE3 9QP, UK or email: visit University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust for further information on how to access.
