Key Points

To estimate exercise capacity and physical activity levels in patients with chronic venous insufficiency.
Cross-sectional study involving 91 diagnosed patients with chronic venous insufficiency.
Patients completed standardized questionnaires including the 6-min Walk Test and International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
Exclusion criteria included conditions like deep vein thrombosis and significant cardiovascular issues.
76.9% of patients categorized as C3 in CEAP classification.
Significant correlations found: 6MWT (r = 0.384) and VAS (r = 0.389) with body mass index.
Correlation between CEAP classification and PSQI scores (r = 0.257) and pain severity (r = 0.432) were significant.
