Abstract

Due to the sequelae of the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), clinical guidelines have had to develop follow-up programmes focused on imaging, lung function, symptoms and physical capacity [1, 2]. To assess functional capacity, field tests are recommended, such as the 6-min walking test (6MWT) or the 1-min sit-to-stand test (STST) [3, 4]. The advantage of these tests is that they have been widely demonstrated to be useful in assessing functional capacity in respiratory chronic diseases and can be performed in low-resource settings [5]. The 1-min sit-to-stand test is a repeatable field test without differences between the first and second tests. Hence, conducting one attempt of the 1-min STST would be enough to evaluate functional capacity in patients recovered from #COVID19. https://bit.ly/3y3ycAP
