Background: Functional exercise capacity in pulmonary hypertension (PH) is routinely assessed using the 6-min walking test (6MWT). However, alternative tests are useful because of resource requirements. This study aimed to evaluate whether the 1-min sit-to-stand test (1STST) is useful and safe in PH and whether it can replace the 6MWT.

(1) Background: Long-term health effects after SARS-CoV-2 infections can manifest in a plethora of symptoms, significantly impacting the quality of life of affected individuals. (2) Aim: The present paper aimed to assess the effects of an individualized and controlled exercise intervention on fatigue and exercise capacity among Long-COVID (LC) patients in an ambulatory setting. (3) Methods: Forty-one (n = 41) LC patients performed an exercise protocol with an individualized control of the patients' training intensity during the study period based on the individual's ability to achieve the target criteria.

Background: The one-minute sit-to-stand test (1STST) is an easy-to-administer, space and time-saving test for determining functional exercise capacity in cardiac disease. This study aimed to investigate the 1STST -test-retest reliability and convergent validity and compare its physiological responses to the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with Atrial fibrillation (AF).
Methods: Forty-five patients with AF were included in this study.
