The objective of this study was to determine whether an exercise intervention using a pedal exerciser is able to reduce disability in frail older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during hospitalization due to an acute exacerbation. This study was a randomized, single-blind clinical trial. Fifty-eight frail older patients admitted to hospital due to an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) were included in this study. All patients received standard medical and pharmacological care. Patients assigned to the intervention group also received an exercise intervention. The main outcome measures were balance, muscle strength, and exercise capacity. Significant between-group differences were found in muscle strength (p = 0.028) and balance (p = 0.013) after the intervention. All the variables improved significantly (p < 0.05) in the exercise intervention group. In the intervention group, the mean difference in muscle strength between baseline and discharge was 10.47 N. Balance also improved, showing a mean difference of 7.56 seconds on the right leg and 6.57 seconds on the left leg. Exercise capacity improved as well, with a difference of 4.97 stands between baseline and discharge. All the variables showed impairment in the control group. In conclusion, an exercise intervention using a pedal exerciser during the hospital stay of frail elderly patients with an AECOPD improves muscle strength, balance, and exercise capacity.

“…Even though we did not include a control group of healthy subjects, it is intuitive that the large sample from which the equation used in our study was derived 20 should provide a more accurate reference than a smaller number of matched controls. Reduced STS performance was also consistently found in various chronic diseases, including COPD.…”

“…28 STS performance in 14 adults with CF in the study by Radtke et al 15 was Ͼ75th percentile according to reference values. 20 Even if within-subject comparison may not be much affected in cross-sectional (eg, relationship with other tests) or longitudinal designs (ie, STS performance pre-post intervention) for a given protocol, comparison between studies may be limited by differences in subject characteristics and protocol modalities (eg, nature and frequency of verbal encouragement). Consensus guidelines for the full standardization of the STS test are therefore needed to allow optimal betweenstudies comparisons.…”

BACKGROUND: Exercise testing is part of the regular assessment of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). We aimed to evaluate (1) the convergent validity of the 1-min sit-to-stand (STS) test in CF by investigating its relationships with peak oxygen uptake (peak V O 2 ), quadriceps strength, and quality of life and (2) to compare these associations with those of the 6-min walk test (6MWT). METHODS: Twenty-five adults with CF (FEV 1 ‫؍‬ 59 ؎ 24%) performed the STS test, the 6MWT, quadriceps strength assessment, and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Physical activity level, quality of life, and self-esteem were assessed by questionnaires. RESULTS: STS repetitions, 6-min walk distance, quadriceps strength, and peak V O 2 were, respectively, 71 ؎ 12, 90 ؎ 10, 93 ؎ 29, and 62 ؎ 16% of predicted. The STS test had moderate associations with peak V O 2 (r ‫؍‬ 0.56, P ‫؍‬ .004), quadriceps strength (r ‫؍‬ 0.52, P ‫؍‬ .008), and some questionnaire items (eg, perceived physical strength, r ‫؍‬ 0.67, P < .001) only when repetitions were expressed as a product of body weight. Overall, these associations were weaker than those obtained from 6-min walk distance ؋ weight. Oxygen desaturation during the STS test was strongly associated with oxygen desaturation during CPET (r ‫؍‬ 0.80, P < .001). Peak heart rate was lower during the STS test as compared with CPET (P < .001) and the 6MWT (P ‫؍‬ .009). CONCLUSIONS: The STS test cannot be used as a replacement for CPET to accurately assess peak exercise capacity in CF. The STS test may have utility in detecting patients with CF who may exhibit a high level of oxygen desaturation during heavy exercise. Further studies should identify the factors contributing to STS performance to confirm the potential interest of STS repetitions ؋ body weight outcome as a useful submaximal exercise parameter in CF.

Alternative field exercise tests for people with respiratory conditions

Assessment of exercise capacity and physical function is critical in individuals with respiratory conditions. While field walking tests are well-established measures of exercise capacity, alternative options involving walking of a shorter duration, stair or step climbing, and functional activities are also available. This review outlines these alternative tests and their relevant measurement properties, including comparisons with established field walking tests and their clinical applications. The 4-m gait speed and 30-m walking test are walking tests of shorter duration than traditional tests and may be a surrogate marker for exercise capacity. Stair climbing tests require greater body movement against gravity, often imposing a greater workload compared to field walking tests. Functional tests such as sit-to-stand tests provide information related to strength and general functioning. The current measurement properties established, together with the emerging evidence for responsiveness to interventions suggest potential for broader clinical use of these alternative field tests.

Population-based reference values for the 1-min sit-to-stand test

Abstract: The reference values support the interpretation of 1-min STS test performance and identification of subjects with decreased lower body muscular strength and endurance.
