Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this study, we aimed to develop an endurance test that can be performed by either running or walking and can be applied to a wide range of ages or fitness levels (new SST) as a test of whole-body stamina that can be performed indoors simultaneously by many participants in a short time by incorporating the characteristics of the 3-minute 10-m shuttle run test (shuttle stamina test: SSTr) and the shuttle stamina walk test (SSTw), a walking version of SSTr for older or less fit individuals. Using SSTw, the validity of which has been previously confirmed, as a reference, we evaluated age-associated changes in the results of new SST, their relationships with other elements of fitness, and subjectively perceived intensity of the test in 1,216 subjects aged 17-93 years. The results suggest that new SST will be a test of whole-body stamina that can be applied safely to people of a wide range of ages.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	全身持久力は、死亡、循環器疾患、メタボリックシンドローム等の独立した危険因子である。我々はこれまでにSSTrあるいはSSTwを用い、幅広い年齢層の測定を行い、約2万人のデータを蓄積してきた。走っても歩いてもよい新SSTの開発・提案により、こどもから高齢者まで同じ方法での全身持久力評価が可能になり、生涯にわたる健康・体力づくりのツールとして活用できる。「エクササイズガイド」では、3分間歩行テストを提案し、年齢や％Fatを独立変数に加えたVO2max推定式（曹ら2009）を発表しているが、実測値がそのまま使えないため、現場への普及は難しいと考える。
