Sinopsis

Tes Harvard Step adalah tes kebugaran jasmani yang dikembangkan oleh Lucien Brouha dan timnya di Harvard University tahun 1943. Tes ini digunakan untuk mengukur tingkat kebugaran kardiovaskular seseorang dengan cara naik turun bangku atau platform dengan irama tertentu. Semakin cepat denyut jantung kembali normal setelah melakukan tes, semakin baik tingkat kebugaran seseorang. Secara klinis, kecepatan pemulihan denyut jantung (heart-rate recovery atau HRR) pada menit pertama hingga ketiga pascates menjadi penanda objektif efisiensi sistem saraf otonom. HRR ≤ 12 denyut per menit pada menit pertama terbukti berkorelasi dengan peningkatan mortalitas kardiovaskular pada populasi dewasa sehat. Harvard Step Test dapat digunakan sebagai model stres submaksimal yang merangsang respons fisiologis terintegrasi pada enam domain utama: (1) kardiovaskular–respirasi, (2) muskuloskeletal, (3) metabolisme energi, (4) neuroendokrin, (5) termoregulasi–cairan, dan (6) imun-inflamasi-molekuler.

Harvard Step Test (HST) merupakan salah satu bentuk uji beban fisik submaksimal yang sederhana namun kaya informasi fisiologis. Dalam waktu singkat, tes ini memicu aktivasi simultan berbagai sistem tubuh: sistem kardiovaskular, respirasi, muskuloskeletal, metabolisme, neuroendokrin, hingga sistem imun dan regulasi cairan tubuh. Pemahaman mendalam tentang bagaimana masing-masing sistem merespons beban ini sangat penting untuk mahasiswa kedokteran agar dapat melihat keterkaitan antara aktivitas fisik dan kesehatan secara menyeluruh.

Secara keseluruhan, HST bukan hanya sekadar alat prediksi VO₂max, tetapi merupakan “mikromodel” stres fisiologis yang sangat aplikatif dalam dunia kedokteran, fisioterapi, kebugaran olahraga, hingga kesehatan masyarakat. Bagi mahasiswa kedokteran, pemahaman tentang fisiologi HST memberikan bekal untuk memahami hubungan dinamis antara sistem tubuh manusia dan aktivitas fisik secara integratif. Pengetahuan ini akan sangat bermanfaat, baik dalam praktik klinis maupun dalam desain intervensi kesehatan yang berbasis bukti.
