    The aim of this study was to evaluate the timed sit-to-stand (STS) test performances of healthy young adults and to investigate the relationship of timed STS tests with 6-minute walk test (6MWT). A cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 40 healthy volunteers (mean age: 21.7 +/- 1.2 years) were evaluated with 10, 30, and 60seconds STS tests and 6MWT. Fatigue and shortness of breath were rated using Borg category-ratio scale (CR10) before and after each test. Weekly energy expenditures of volunteers were calculated using International Physical Activity Questionnaire. 30 and 60seconds STS tests were moderately (r=0.611 and r=0.647, respectively) (P.05). Borg fatigue scores after 10, 30, and 60seconds STS tests were weakly correlated with fatigue score after 6MWT (r=0.321, r=0.378, and r=0.405, respectively) (P<.05). Weekly energy expenditure (MET-min/week) was moderately correlated with 10, 30, and 60seconds STS tests and 6MWT (r=0.533, r=0.598, r=0.598, and r=0.547, respectively) (P<.001). Considering the statistically significant relationship between timed STS tests and 6MWT, any of the timed STS tests may be used for a quick and alternative measurement of physical performance and functional capacity in healthy young adults.

    Effect of Gender and Physical Activity Level on Sit-to-Stand Test Performance Among Young Adults
    (2020-07-01T00:00:00Z) Gürses, Hülya Nilgün; Denizoğlu Külli, Hilal; Durgut, Elif; Zeren, Melih; GÜRSES, HÜLYA NILGÜN; DENİZOĞLU KÜLLİ, HİLAL; DURGUT, ELİF
    Objective: Our study aimed to determine the sit-to-stand (STS) test performance and physical activity levels of young adults and investigate the relationship of STS tests with gender and physical activity levels. Methods: Sixty volunteers randomly performed the 5xSTS, 10sSTS, 30sSTS and 60sSTS tests. Fatigue was rated using the Borg category ratio scale. Physical activity level and weekly energy expenditure of volunteers were calculated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results: The 5xSTS, 10sSTS, 30sSTS and 60sSTS test scores were statistically different between genders (p=0.004; p=0.002; p=0.000; p=0.000, respectively). Fatigue levels after STS tests did not show any difference between genders (p=0.636; p=0.295; p=0.888; p=0.150, respectively). Weekly energy expenditures were positively correlated with STS tests except 5xSTS test (r=-0.458, p=0.000; r=0.427, p=0.001; r=0.606, p=0.000; r=0.545, p=0.000, respectively). All STS tests had significant differences between participants with moderate or high physical activity level (p=0.016; p=0.007; p=0.000; p=0.000, respectively). Conclusion: Our study shows that STS tests scores correlate to gender and physical activity levels in young adults.
