Data from a mixed gender sample aged 40\u201375 years from Leicestershire, United Kingdom, were selected for analyses. Analysis of covariance determined differences in ISWT performance between South Asian and Caucasian British ethnic groups. Linear regressions identified predictors of ISWT distance, which determined the reference equations. In total, 144 participants took part in the study (79 South Asian (54 \u00b1 8 years, 71% female) and 65 Caucasian British (58 \u00b1 9 years, 74% female)). Distance walked for the ISWT was shorter for South Asian individuals compared with Caucasian British (451 \u00b1 143 vs. 575 \u00b1 180 m, p &lt; 0.001). The ethnicity-specific reference equations for ISWT distance explained 33\u201350% of the variance (standard error of the estimate (SEE): 107\u2013119 m) for South Asians and explained 14\u201358% of the variance (SEE: 121\u2013169 m) for Caucasian British. Ethnicity univariately explained 12.9% of the variance in ISWT distance and was significantly associated with ISWT distance after controlling for age, gender, height, weight, dyspnoea and lung function ( B = \u221270.37; 1 = Caucasian British, 2 = South Asian), uniquely explaining 3.7% of the variance. Predicted values for ISWT performance were lower in South Asian people than in Caucasian British. Ethnicity-specific reference equations should account for this.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1479972318785832","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,5]],"date-time":"2018-07-05T02:47:56Z","timestamp":1530758876000},"page":"241-249","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The influence of South Asian ethnicity on the incremental shuttle walk test in UK adults"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4678-6574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark","family":"Orme","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exercise and Rehabilitation Science, NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre \u2013 Respiratory, NIHR Institute of Lung Health, Leicester, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lauren","family":"Sherar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, Loughborough, UK"},{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK"},{"name":"NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre \u2013 Lifestyle, Leicester, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mike","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exercise and Rehabilitation Science, NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre \u2013 Respiratory, NIHR Institute of Lung Health, Leicester, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Steiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exercise and Rehabilitation Science, NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre \u2013 Respiratory, NIHR Institute of Lung Health, Leicester, UK"},{"name":"National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, Loughborough, UK"},{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dale","family":"Esliger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, Loughborough, UK"},{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK"},{"name":"NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre \u2013 Lifestyle, Leicester, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Kingsnorth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, Loughborough, UK"},{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sally","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Exercise and Rehabilitation Science, NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre \u2013 Respiratory, NIHR Institute of Lung Health, Leicester, UK"},{"name":"National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, Loughborough, UK"},{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"bibr1-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"185","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00046906","volume":"29","author":"Task Force ERS","year":"2007","journal-title":"Eur Respir J"},{"key":"bibr2-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200508-1211ST"},{"key":"bibr3-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.47.12.1019"},{"key":"bibr4-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thx.54.3.213"},{"key":"bibr5-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.284.6329.1607"},{"key":"bibr6-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HCR.0b013e3182a0297e"},{"key":"bibr7-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000319037"},{"key":"bibr8-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-2113.173056"},{"issue":"4","key":"bibr9-1479972318785832","first-page":"307","volume":"22","author":"O\u2019Connor PJ","year":"1990","journal-title":"Fam Med"},{"key":"bibr10-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00150414"},{"key":"bibr11-1479972318785832","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00194909"},{"key":"bibr12-1479972318785832","unstructured":"Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity.
