Correlation Between the Predicted VO2max and the One-Minute Sit-to-Stand Test in Healthy College Students

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the exercise capacity test for the 1-min sit-to-stand test (1MSTST) and the predicted maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) during treadmill exercise using the Bruce protocol (BPR) in healthy college students and confirm the feasibility of using it as an indicator of cardiopulmonary function in the exercise capacity test of 1MSTST. Methods: The study participants were 49 healthy college students (25 males and 24 females). During the 1MSTST, the number of repetitions was recorded. During the BPR, the total running time was collected and calculated using the predicted maximal oxygen uptake formula. In both tests, the ratings of perceived exertion were measured using Borg’s rating of perceived exertion scale along with the heart rate of each stage. Results: The correlation coefficient values between 1MSTST repetition and VO2max were calculated using the Pearson correlation analysis. The correlation analysis revealed that all participants and male participants showed a moderate positive correlation, whereas female participants did not show correlation between the two tests. Conclusion: These findings indicate that 1MSTST repetition and VO2max were moderately correlated, with a more favorable correlation in male participants.
