Background: High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been identified as potential stimulus for eliciting health-promoting physical activity in an efficient manner among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). The current study aimed to examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of a 12-week HIIT program using a recumbent stepper (RSTEP) in persons with MS who have walking disability. Feasibility outcomes of interest included process (i.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programme on hyperventilation symptoms, anxiety and depressive symptoms, general fatigue, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and exercise capacity in adults with severe asthma who have been exposed to psychosocial chronic stressors.
Methods: Data on 111 non-selected consecutive adults with severe asthma who enrolled in an 8-week home-based PR programme (weekly supervised 90-min session) was retrospectively analysed. Chronic stressors included physical, sexual and psychological violence and/or a traumatic experience related to an intensive care unit stay.
Six-minute stepper test for evaluating functional exercise capacity in patients with sarcoidosis.

Background: Researchers and clinicians may benefit from alternative tests that do not require large physical spaces or corridors for simply evaluating functional exercise capacity in the clinical practice.
Objective: Aim of this study was to investigate whether six-minute stepper test (6MST) is a valid tool for measuring functional exercise capacity in patients with sarcoidosis.
Methods: Thirty-six patients with sarcoidosis and 18 healthy controls were evaluated with 6MST and six-minute walk test (6MWT).
The Six-Minute Stepper Test Is Valid to Evaluate Functional Capacity in Hospitalized Patients With Exacerbated COPD.

The six-minute stepper test (6MST) is a self-paced test considered a valid tool to assess functional capacity in stable COPD patients. However, a high floor effect, where a large proportion of participants reach the minimum score when using the measurement instrument, might compromise the test validity in the hospital setting. Therefore, this study aimed at verifying the concurrent validity of 6MST in hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).

Objective: To determine the level of evidence of the measurement properties (validity, reliability, and responsiveness) and interpretability of the step tests available for assessing the exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Data Sources: The data sources Web of Science, MEDLINE, PubMed, PEDro, CENTRAL of Cochrane Library, and Scopus were searched up to June 26, 2020.
Review Methods: Studies of any design that reported results for any measurement property of the step tests for assessing the exercise capacity in COPD patients were selected.
