“…Comparison of the behavior of physiological variables during the 6MST and during the 6MWT revealed that the 6MST produced greater cardiovascular stress. Similar results were found in a study by da Costa et al, 24 in which healthy sedentary individuals were evaluated. However, da Silva et al, 25 when comparing these variables in individuals who had a stroke and underwent the 6MST and the 6MWT, found no differences between the tests.…”

“…The movement of climbing up and down steps is a vertical activity performed against the force of gravity, which that requires greater effort and metabolic demand and, consequently, greater cardiovascular activity, but that remains within the submaximal effort range. 24 Therefore, the 6MST can be considered more appropriate for assessing FEC, providing data that are more accurate for quantification and prescription of exercise in individuals with OSA treated with CPAP.…”

Objective: To evaluate the construct validity and reproducibility of the six-minute step test (6MST) in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Methods: We evaluated 48 volunteers diagnosed with OSA and treated with CPAP for at least two months. The volunteers underwent the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the 6MST, in random order and on different days, with an interval of, at most, seven days between the two tests. Results: A moderate positive correlation was found between the distance walked on the 6MWT and the number of steps climbed on the 6MST (r = 0.520; p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two 6MSTs in terms of the number of steps climbed (121.7 ± 27.1 vs. 123.6 ± 26.7). Reproducibility for performance on the 6MST and for cardiovascular variables was considered excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.8). Regarding cardiovascular responses, the 6MST produced higher values than did the 6MWT for HR at six minutes, percent predicted maximum HR, and leg fatigue at six minutes, as well as for systolic blood pressure at six minutes and at one minute of recovery. Conclusions: The 6MST is valid and reproducible, producing greater cardiovascular stress than does the 6MWT. However, the 6MST is also characterized as a submaximal test for the assessment of exercise tolerance in individuals with OSA treated with CPAP.

“…16 Dyspnea was measured by the modified scale of the mMRC, 17 and all the subjects also underwent spirometry testing with a bronchodilator test at each of the 3 stages. The 6MWT was performed according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society 18 and the 6-min step test by following the standard of the latest study that compared the behavior of the heart rate between the 6MWT and 6-min step test, 19 with both being held in the same morning. A 40-m-long corridor, every meter marked, was used to perform the 6MWT.…”

“…Além disso, o alto custo de operacionalização e manutenção, além da dificuldade de transporte, torna o uso do TECP muito restrito (Maggio et al, 2017;Bohannon, Bubela, Wang, Magasi & Gershon, 2015; Em contrapartida, os testes de campo, que possibilitam a avaliação indireta da tolerância ao esforço são comprovadamente efetivos. São testes de simples execução, baixo custo, práticos e podem ser uma boa opção para aplicação em larga escala (Da Costa et al, 2017;Pessoa et al, 2014;Martins, Gonçalves, Mayer & Schivinsk, 2014). Dentre eles, estão o teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6M) e o teste de degrau de seis minutos (TD6M).…”

Objetivo: Validar o teste de degrau de seis minutos (TD6M) e avaliar sua reprodutibilidade para determinação da tolerância ao esforço em crianças saudáveis de 7-11 anos. Métodos: Foram incluídas na pesquisa 66 crianças saudáveis, com idade entre 7 e 11 anos completos. Os voluntários foram submetidos ao teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6M) e ao TD6M, em ordem aleatória e dias diferentes, com intervalo de no máximo sete dias. Resultados: Foi observada uma correlação positiva moderada entre a distância percorrida no TC6M e o número de subidas no TD6M (r=0,43; p<0,001). A reprodutibilidade das variáveis no TD6M foi considerada excelente em relação às variáveis desempenho (número de degraus) (r=0,92; IC=0,87 a 0,87; p<0,001), pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) imediatamente após (r=0,87; IC=0,79 a 0,92; p<0,001), PAS-1’recuperação (r=0,84; IC=0,74 a 0,90; p<0,001), frequência cardíaca (FC) máxima (r=0,90; IC=0,83 a 0,94; p<0,001), FC-imediatamente após (r=0,88; IC=0,81 a 0,93; p<0,001) e Fadiga de membros inferiores (MMII)-durante o teste (3o min) (0,86; IC=0,78 a 0,92; p<0,001). Apresentaram também uma reprodutibilidade muito boa a PAS-repouso (r=0,75; IC=0,59 a 0,84; p<0,001), PAS-5’recuperação (r=0,78; IC=0,56 a 0,83; p<0,001), PAD-repouso (r=0,74; IC=0,58 a 0,84; p<0,001), pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) imediatamente após (r=0,72; IC=0,55 a 0,83; p<0,001), PAD-1’recuperação (r=0,77; IC=0,63 a 0,86; p<0,001), PAD-5’recuperação (r=0,73; IC=0,56 a 0,83; p<0,001), FC-repouso (r=0,73; IC=0,60 a 0,86; p<0,001), Fadiga de MMII-imediatamente após (r=0,72; IC=0,54 a 0,83; p<0,001). Conclusão: O TD6M é seguro, válido e com boa reprodutibilidade intra-avaliador na avaliação da tolerância ao esforço em crianças saudáveis entre 7-11 anos.
