“…This was especially important as other commonly used tests, such as the 6MWT, are not as feasible to perform due to logistical requirements. The 1MSTS has been found to be a good tool to evaluate exercise capacity even in patients with heart failure [35] and pulmonary diseases [36]. No incidents or adverse events were reported during the Zoom sessions in this study, suggesting that it is safe to conduct the STS remotely under virtual supervision.…”

Objective. This study is aimed at ascertaining the feasibility of conducting the 1-minute sit-to-stand (1MSTS) and 30-second sit-to-stand (30SSTS) tests for healthy participants via video consultation. A secondary aim was to compare the relationship between the 1MSTS and 30SSTS. Methods. A total of 63 participants were recruited via the Singapore Institute of Technology emails and social media in 2020 during the peak of COVID-19. Prior to the sit-to-stand testing, all participants completed the consent form and physical activity questionnaires. Anthropometric data such as height and weight were also collected prior to testing. An instructional video detailing the sit-to-stand (STS) movement and the requirements for the environment set-up were sent to the participants via email. All STS tests were conducted virtually via the Zoom application. Healthy participants aged 21 to 55 years old performed a 1MSTS and 30SSTS each in random order. Results. All recruited participants completed the STS tests with no reported adverse events. Majority of participants were from the 21- to 25-year-old age groups, and the average number of repetitions performed by this group was 21.9 ± 5.6 for the 30SSTS and 44.7 ± 12.6 for the 1MSTS. Conclusion. Conducting the STS tests via video consultation was demonstrated to be safe and feasible. The number of repetitions performed in the 1MSTS is correlated to that of the 30SSTS, but 1MSTS has the ability to elicit a greater HR response among younger adults.

“…These functions are essential for a range of daily activities, from basic self-care to more demanding tasks requiring strength, coordination, and endurance. Lower extremity muscle strength and functional impairments have been reported in patients with COPD [ 10 , 11 ] and can be attributed to poor oxygen uptake, which hampers the ability of muscles to meet metabolic demands [ 12 ]. Upper and lower extremity functions directly impact an individual’s ability to perform walking and other physical activities [ 13 ].…”

Background/Objective(s) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can precipitate a deterioration of an individual’s physical performance and overall health. Evidence suggests that, along with pulmonary functions, several other factors are related to the significant impairment of walking performance in individuals with COPD. This study compared the depressive symptoms, health status, upper and lower extremity functions, and peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ) in a group of individuals with COPD based on walking performance using a cutoff distance of 350 m in the six-minute walking test (6MWT). The study also investigated the associations between these factors and walking performance. Materials and Methods Participants performed the 6MWT according to the guidelines and were classified into high (>350 m; n = 40) or low (<350 m; n = 30) walking performance groups according to distance. The forced expiratory volume (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC ratio were recorded. Participants completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and the Upper and Lower Extremity Functional Index (UEFI/LEFI). Predicted VO 2peak was measured using the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI). Results Seventy participants with a mean age of 63 ± 11 years (20% female) were enrolled in this study. Patients with high walking performance demonstrated significantly better health status than those with low walking performance (SGRQ: 49 ± 25 vs. 56 ± 21, p = 0.03). Participants with low walking performance had lower predicted VO 2peak compared to their higher performing counterparts ( p = 0.002). The overall model was significant (F(8, 61) = 7.48, p = 0.0006), with PHQ-9, SGRQ, UEFI/LEFI, VO 2peak , and FEV1/FVC explaining approximately 49.5% of the variance in the 6MWT distance. Conclusion This study shed light on the association of depressive symptoms, health status, extremity function, and VO 2peak with walking performance, providing valuable insights that may impact the management and care of individuals with COPD.
