Key result
1-minute sit-to-stand test correlates moderately with VO2max but fails to precisely determine aerobic exercise capacity.
Why the study?
The efficacy of the 1-minute Sit to Stand test to determine physical activity capacities in patients with chronic disease had not been established.
Does the 1-minute Sit to Stand test accurately determine physical activity capacity compared to V'O2max in patients with chronic disease?
Cross-Sectional (n=50)
No
Does the 1-minute Sit to Stand test accurately determine physical activity capacity compared to V'O2max in patients with chronic disease?
Effect estimate: r = 0.401 (95% CI 0.114-0.625)
The 1-minute Sit to Stand test has only a moderate correlation with V'O2max and is insufficient for precisely determining physical activity capacity in patients with chronic disease.
Caution against relying on 1-minute Sit to Stand test for aerobic capacity in chronic disease; leaves open its screening utility pending prospective validation.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the 1-minute Sit to Stand test (1MSTS) to determine physical activity capacities for patients with chronic disease. Methods For this cross-sectional study, we studied fifty patients with chronic disease and no beta-blocker treatment. They systematically performed a cardiopulmonary exercise test to determine maximal oxygen uptake (V'O2max). We considered two groups of patients based on the results of the functional evaluation of exercise performance: (1) No limitation in exercise performance (V'O2max greater or equal to 80% of the theoretical reference) and (2) limited exercise performance (V'O2max <80% of the theoretical value). All patients also received an 1MSTS on the same day. Results We found 22 (44.0%) patients with normal exercise capacity and 28 (56.0%) patients with limited exercise performance. In this sample, mean 1MSTS repetitions were 27.1 (7.1) and 25.2 (8.7), respectively. There were no significant differences between the two groups for repetition and Borg Scale end test. The correlation between V'O2max measured during the exercise test and 1MSTS repetitions displayed a positive slope [r = 0.401 (95% CI 0.114–625)]. Conclusion This study demonstrated a moderate relationship between 1MSTS and V'O2max for patients with chronic disease. 1MSTS did not permit the precise determination of physical activity capacities in this sample.

Allado et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic disease requiring adapted physical activity (n=50). 1-minute Sit to Stand test (1MSTS) vs. Cardiopulmonary exercise test (V'O2max) was evaluated on Correlation between V'O2max measured during exercise test and 1MSTS repetitions (r = 0.401, 95% CI 0.114-0.625). The 1-minute Sit to Stand test showed a moderate correlation (r = 0.401) with maximal oxygen uptake in patients with chronic disease, suggesting it cannot precisely determine aerobic exercise capacity.
