Abstract:
A Side Step Test (SST) is a simple fitness measuring agility in test subjects, conducted over one minute. In this test, 18 male and female test subjects performed side step tests to get a baseline of their performance. They then conducted workouts on a recumbent lateral trainer under the supervision of a physical therapist. Three weeks later, 15 of the original test subjects re-took the side step study to measure their progress.
