Introdução: O 30-seconds sit-to-stand test (30secSTS) é um teste útil na Fisioterapia, contudo, não existe equação de referência do teste para a população portuguesa. Objetivo: Estabelecer a equação de referência do 30secSTS para a população adulta portuguesa e avaliar a experiência dos participantes no desempenho do mesmo. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo observacional, transversal onde participaram adultos portugueses (>18 anos) sem incapacidade. Foram recolhidos dados sociodemográficos, antropométricos, hábitos tabágicos e níveis de atividade física (Brief Physical Activity Assessment Tool [BPAAT]). Foram realizadas 3 repetições do 30secSTS e o conforto sentido durante o teste foi avaliado de 0 ("nada confortável") a 5 ("muito confortável"). Resultados: No total, 126 participantes (mediana da idade 42 [28,75-58] anos) foram recrutados. A equação de referência foi: número de repetições = 28,70 - 0,14 x idade - 0,089 x massa corporal + 0,851 x pontuação BPAAT, R2=34%. A maioria dos participantes classificaram elevado nível de conforto, grau 4 (38,9%) e grau 5 (38,9%). Conclusão: Com a equação de referência estabelecida, verifica-se que a idade, massa corporal e atividade física explicam o número de repetições do 30secSTS. A maioria dos participantes sentiu-se altamente confortável no desempenho do teste.
Introduction: The 30-seconds sit-to-stand test (30secSTS) is a useful test in Physiotherapy, however, no reference equation is available for the Portuguese population. Objective: To establish the reference equation of the 30secSTS for the Portuguese adult population and assess the participant experience during its performance. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out with Portuguese adults (>18 years old) without disabilities. Sociodemographic, anthropometric data, smoking habits and physical activity levels (Brief Physical Activity Assessment Tool [BPAAT]) were collected. Three repetitions of the 30secSTS were performed and the comfort felt during the test was evaluated from 0 ("not at all comfortable") to 5 ("very comfortable"). Results: In total, 126 participants (median age 42 [28.75-58] years) were recruited. The reference equation was: number of repetitions = 28.70 - 0.14 x age - 0.089 x body mass + 0.851 x BPAAT score, R2=34%. Most participants reported a high level of comfort, grade 4 (38.9%) and grade 5 (38.9%). Conclusion: With the reference equation established, age, body mass and physical activity explain the number of repetitions of the 30secSTS. Most participants were highly comfortable performing the test.
