The relationship of sit-to-stand tests with 6-minute walk test in healthy young adults

The aim of this study was to evaluate the timed sit-to-stand (STS) test performances of healthy young adults and to investigate the relationship of timed STS tests with 6-minute walk test (6MWT). A cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 40 healthy volunteers (mean age: 21.7 ± 1.2 years) wer...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate the timed sit-to-stand (STS) test performances of healthy young adults and to investigate the relationship of timed STS tests with 6-minute walk test (6MWT). A cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 40 healthy volunteers (mean age: 21.7 ± 1.2 years) were evaluated with 10, 30, and 60 seconds STS tests and 6MWT. Fatigue and shortness of breath were rated using Borg category-ratio scale (CR10) before and after each test. Weekly energy expenditures of volunteers were calculated using International Physical Activity Questionnaire. 30 and 60 seconds STS tests were moderately (r = 0.611 and r = 0.647, respectively) (P  .05). Borg fatigue scores after 10, 30, and 60 seconds STS tests were weakly correlated with fatigue score after 6MWT (r = 0.321, r = 0.378, and r = 0.405, respectively) (P
