| Popis: | Introduction: The six-minute step test can estimate the oxygen consumption in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the literature is scarce regarding to sixminute step test application to health and young subjects. Aim: To correlate peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) obtained in a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPX) with performance in the 6-Minute Step Test (6MST) in a group of healthy young men. Materials and Methods: In a prospective observational crosssectional study, thirty-one young healthy men (22.3±2.2years) were volunteers. The study was conducted during two nonconsecutive days. On the first day, the VO2 peak was obtained using CPX on a treadmill. After 72 hour, the 6MST (20 cm of height) was performed at a self-selected cadence. The reproducibility of the 6MST was tested in 14 subjects, 30 minute after the first 6MST. Results: The 6MST demonstrated reproducibility (ICC=0.977; 95%CI 0.932 to 0.992). There was a significant correlation between the total number of steps and heart rate in the 6th minute of the 6MST (r=0.794; p |
