Incremental shuttle walk test

In the incremental shuttle walk test, participants will have to walk between two cones (10m distance) several times. The time they will have to cover the distance between the two cones (signified by 'bleeps') will become increasingly shorter, until they cannot get to the next cone before the next 'bleep'. This test will last a maximum of 20 minutes. In the Stroop test, the words of four colours, but written with a different colour, will be projected on the wall in front of participants and they will need to identify the colour of the text and ignore the word itself.
