Complete Your Additional Health Requirements
At Cherries Medical Group, we also cater for additional health requirements including the Chester Step Examination which may be needed for:-
• OEUK Offshore Employment
• GWO (Global Wind Organisation) RUK (RenewableUK) Wind Turbine Employment.
Specifically, the Chester Step Test would be required for those workers who require the need to perform climbing duties, whether this is climbing a long set of stairs or potentially climbing up/down repetitively from a platform.
What does it involve?
The Chester Step Test is designed to measure your aerobic fitness and would involve you stepping up and down a platform at the clinic for up to a maximum of 10 minutes, where every 2 minutes the speed of the stepping rate would be increased.
Prior to the examination, we will work out your maximum Heart Rate based on your age and aim to reach 80% of your maximum HR. If at any time, you are feeling fatigued, breathless, dizzy or experiencing any chest pain then the test will be stopped immediately and you will be asked to recover.
Following the test, the doctor will then calculate your aerobic capacity based on checking your Heart Rate at every 2-minute intervals. Upon satisfactory completion of the test, you will be granted a Same Day Certificate for you to take.
✅Ensure that you have not eaten, smoked, exercise or drunk tea or coffee for at least 2
hours before the fitness test.
✅Ensure that you are not recovering from illness or have a cold or are taking beta-blocker
drugs which will depress heart rate scores or influence test performance.
✅Ensure that you are wearing loose-fitting and comfortable clothing.
✅Ensure that no heavy physical exercise is done for at least 24hrs before the fitness test.
The actual Chester Step Test Examination should last a maximum of 10 minutes but most of the time the test is concluded between 6-8 minutes as during that time there will be either be difficulty in talking in sentences or the patient would’ve reached 80% of their maximum Heart Rate. The overall appointment should last 15 minutes.
Yes, you would be given a physical certificate on the same day before you leave the clinic.
The Chester Step Test Certificate is valid for 12 months for OEUK and 24 months for GWO RUK Medicals.
