Key result
Study evaluates 1-minute sit-to-stand test against 6MWT for functional exercise capacity in children.
Why the study?
The 1-minute sit-to-stand test has not been validated in children and its physiological response is unknown, despite the need for easy exercise capacity tests.
Does the 1-minute sit-to-stand test validly and reliably measure heart rate response to submaximal exercise and functional exercise capacity in healthy children?

STST demonstrates concurrent validity and reliability for HR response in healthy children; leaves open its role in those with cardiac or respiratory disease.
The importance of physical activity is gaining recognition in children with cardiac or respiratory diseases, and the measurement of heart rate (HR) response during exercise is required.1 The 6-minute walking test (6MWT), which has been verified for validity and reliability in children,2 is the reference field test to measure functional exercise capacity. New field tests are emerging to counteract the practical drawbacks associated with the 6MWT. The 1-minute sit-tostand test (STST) is easy to implement and has already been validated in adults,3 but not yet in children. Moreover, to our knowledge, the physiological response associated with this test is unknown in children. The aims of this study were to evaluate the concurrent validity and reliability of the STST in measuring the HR response to submaximal exercise and functional exercise capacity in children.

Reychler et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy children. 1-minute sit-to-stand test (STST) vs. 6-minute walking test (6MWT) was evaluated on Concurrent validity and reliability of the STST in measuring the HR response to submaximal exercise and functional exercise capacity. The abstract outlines the aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test in healthy children, but provides no quantitative results.
