Abstract

ONE-MINUTE SIT-TO-STAND TEST–A USEFUL TESTING TOOL FOR THE PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (Abstract): Exercise tolerance of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should be carefully assessed in order to gain an optimal quality of life through pulmonary rehabilitation programs. The 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1-min STST) is part of the larger family of sit-to-stand tests which were developed recently as feasible options to evaluate the physical capacity in COPD patients, based either on the time needed to perform a preset number of repetitions or on measuring the number of repetitions performed in a preset period of time. 1-min STST is easy to perform in clinical practice and the results are similar in estimating physical capacity as those generated by other tests, like the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The 1-min STST performance is predicted by age, sex, smoking status, body mass index, and level of perspiration during physical activity. The results of the test are correlated with the quality of life scores and prognostic indices. The studies to date proved that 1-min STST is an alternative reliable tool to more traditional but also more exhausting exercise capacity tests in COPD patients.
