At Al Noor Polyclinic Deira (+971 50 900 2118 (Whatsapp) | alnoor.deira@amberclinics.com), we believe that prevention and early detection are key to lifelong health. As part of our comprehensive health screening services, we offer the Chester Step Test — a quick, safe, and effective way to evaluate your cardiovascular fitness and overall endurance.

What Is the Chester Step Test?

The Chester Step Test is a submaximal aerobic fitness test that measures how efficiently your heart and lungs deliver oxygen during physical activity. It is widely used for medical fitness assessments in Dubai, especially in occupational, aviation, and corporate health programs.

During the test, you will:

• Step up and down on a low platform at a controlled pace.
• Follow an audio prompt as the pace gradually increases every two minutes.
• Have your heart rate and exertion level monitored by our healthcare team.

The test stops once you reach your target heart rate or feel you’ve reached your comfortable limit. The results help estimate your VO₂ max (aerobic capacity) — a key measure of your heart and lung fitness.

Why Take the Chester Step Test?

Regular cardiovascular assessment helps identify early signs of heart or lung problems and supports a proactive approach to health.

At Al Noor Polyclinic Deira, the Chester Step Test is ideal for:

• Pre-employment and occupational health checks
• Airline and seafarer medicals
• Corporate wellness programs
• Routine heart health monitoring
• Fitness and lifestyle evaluations

This test provides reliable results in just a few minutes — helping you and your doctor understand your fitness level, stamina, and heart health.

Who Should Take the Test?

The Chester Step Test is suitable for most adults who can perform light to moderate exercise. It’s especially useful for individuals who:

• Want to measure their fitness progress
• Need to meet occupational health requirements
• Are undergoing a routine medical fitness test in Dubai

The test may not be suitable for people with:

• Known heart or respiratory conditions (without prior medical clearance)
• Recent injuries or surgeries
• Uncontrolled high blood pressure

Before your test, our medical team will review your medical history and ensure your safety throughout the procedure.

Understanding Your Results

Your results provide an estimate of your aerobic capacity (VO₂ max) — a key indicator of how fit your heart and lungs are.

A higher score means better endurance and overall cardiovascular health.

Our internal medicine specialists will interpret your results and guide you with:

• Personalized fitness goals
• Lifestyle and diet recommendations
• Further investigations, if necessary
