“…In our study, participants who finished the 6MST without interruption climbed an average of 92.3 steps, and those who suspended or required interruption climbed, on average, 37.7 and 76.4, respectively. The participants performed the 6MST on a 20cm-high step and climbed an average of 77.6 steps, which demonstrates a lower performance when compared to the study by Oliveira et al 15 , performed with healthy individuals with the same type of step, climbed an average of 173.8 steps.…”

SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), leading to hypoxemia. Physical capacity assessment can be performed before hospital discharge using submaximal exercise testing. This study sought to assess physical capacity and exercise tolerance with the six-minute step test (6MST) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients who required oxygen (O2) support during hospitalization. A prospective, interventional study was conducted with patients aged from 18 to 90 years who required oxygen therapy during hospitalization. Assessment was performed using Perme Score, followed by the 6MST tests, assessing the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and subjective exertion perception by Borg Scale, before and immediately after the 6MST. A total of 31 patients, with a mean age of 51.9 years, were evaluated. Nasal cannula (NC) was the most used device (64.5% of patients). Regarding HR, BP, and Borg Scale, their mean value increased after 6MST. SpO2 showed a lower mean value after 6MST. Out of the 86.9% of patients who completed the test, 48.3% completed it with interruptions, and 12.9% had to suspend it. The 6MST was able to assess physical capacity and exercise tolerance, proving to be an effective tool for evaluating COVID-19 patients.

RESUMO A infecção por SARS-CoV-2 pode ocasionar a síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SRAG), levando a hipoxemia. A avaliação da capacidade física pode ser realizada anteriormente à alta hospitalar, através de testes de exercícios submáximos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade física e a tolerância ao exercício físico por meio do teste de degrau de seis minutos (TD6) em pacientes hospitalizados com diagnóstico de COVID-19 que fizeram uso de suporte de oxigênio (O2) durante a internação. Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo e intervencionista, incluindo pacientes com idade entre 18 e 90 anos, que necessitaram de oxigenoterapia durante a hospitalização. Foi realizada avaliação através do Perme escore, seguida do TD6, com análise da saturação periférica de oxigênio (SpO2), frequência cardíaca (FC), pressão arterial (PA) e percepção subjetiva do esforço através da escala de Borg, antes e imediatamente após o TD6. Foram avaliados 31 pacientes, com idade média de 51,9 anos. O dispositivo de O2 mais utilizado foi o cateter nasal (CN), em 64,5% dos pacientes. Em relação à FC, PA e escala de Borg, pudemos observar um aumento no valor médio dessas variáveis após o TD6. A SpO2 teve uma média menor quando comparada à avaliação inicial do TD6. O teste foi finalizado por 86,9% dos pacientes, sendo que, destes, 48,3% finalizaram com interrupções; 12,9% dos participantes suspenderam o teste. O TD6 foi capaz de avaliar a capacidade física e a tolerância ao exercício, tornando-se uma ferramenta eficaz para avaliação do paciente com COVID-19.

The objectives of this study were i) to measure a six-minute step test (6MST) in asymptomatic adults; ii) to determine the applicability of Arcuri et al.’s reference equation to Indian adults; iii) to develop a prediction equation for Indian adults. 110 adult males and females aged 18-40 years were recruited for this prospective cross-sectional study conducted in India. Participants underwent 6MST. Applicability was assessed by comparing the findings of the 6MST with the values derived from Arcuri et al.’s predicted equations using the Bland-Altman plot. A multiple regression analysis was used to develop the prediction equation. The mean±SD six-minute step count was 159.42±17.60 steps and 150.78±14.39 steps in males and females respectively. The 6MST for males can be determined by males (steps)=204.371-1.521×age(years) and females (steps)=179.567-1.06×age (years). Arcuri et al.’s equation cannot be used to predict 6MST in Indian adults. Region-specific equations are useful to assess the values.
