OFFICIAL CHESTER STEP SOFTWARE
Guided delivery. Instant estimates. Clear reports.
Built-in pacing
Integrated metronome and instructions from Professor Kevin Sykes help deliver the test cadence.
Instant estimated VO₂max
Enter the heart-rate data and calculate an estimated VO₂max immediately. Input quality, screening and professional interpretation remain essential; this is not a direct laboratory measurement.
PDF reports
Create a professional PDF report of the test results, ready to review and share with the participant or your client.
Online access
Access the cloud-based workflow on desktop, tablet or mobile, without a separate spreadsheet. Confirm your device, browser and IT restrictions before buying.

The current CST2 selector supports 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 cm. Use the correct authorised protocol and calculation.
