Summary

The 1-minute sit to stand (1-min STS) test is a standardized test which is used to examine exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The chair seat height used is standardized to 46-48 cm. Using a standard seat height for all patients - irrespective of their body height - may lead to invalid estimates of functional exercise capacity. The objective of this study is to assess whether there is a difference in repetitions during the 1-min STS test if the seat height is adjusted to 90° knee joint angle or the standard height chair of 46 cm is used.
