Abstract (English): Background: Submaximal tests such as the Sit-to-Stand Test (STS) in its three modalities are used to evaluate strength and aerobic capacity in people with respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases. However, international reference values do not account for the genetic and environmental particularities of the Colombian population, underscoring the need to establish local references. Aim: To establish sex and age specific reference values for the 5-repetition, 30-second, and 1-minute sit-to-stand tests in community-dwelling Colombian adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between 2023 and 2024 in Colombia, with the participation of healthy adults aged 18 to 80 years. Anthropometric characteristics and physical activity were assessed using the IPAQ questionnaire and the Sit-to-Stand Test (STS) at 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 5 repetitions. Normative percentiles were calculated by sex and age with a sample of 393 people. Results: The study included 393 participants (208 women and 185 men), with an average age of 44 years and a BMI of 25.9 ± 4.1. Age was negatively correlated with repetitions (R= 0.493; 60 sec and R= -0.497; 30 sec), height showed a positive correlation (R= 0.262; 60 sec). High BMI was associated with worse performance (R= -0.119; 60 sec, R= -0.153; 30 sec). Conclusions: This study establishes reference values for STS testing in healthy adults in Colombia, accounting for age, sex, BMI, and physical activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Antecedentes: Las pruebas submáximas, como la prueba de sentarse y levantarse (Sit-to-Stand, STS), en sus tres modalidades, se utilizan para evaluar la fuerza y la capacidad aeróbica en personas con enfermedades respiratorias, cardiovasculares y metabólicas. Sin embargo, los valores de referencia internacionales no consideran las particularidades genéticas y ambientales de la población colombiana, lo que evidencia la necesidad de establecer referencias locales. Objetivos: Establecer valores de referencia específicos por sexo y edad para las pruebas de sentarse y levantarse de 5 repeticiones, a 30 segundos y a 1 minuto en adultos colombianos que viven en la comunidad. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en Colombia entre 2023 y 2024, con la participación de adultos sanos de 18 a 80 años. Se evaluaron las características antropométricas y el nivel de actividad física mediante el cuestionario IPAQ, así como la prueba de sentarse y levantarse (STS) en sus modalidades de 1 minuto, 30 segundos y 5 repeticiones. Se calcularon percentiles normativos por sexo y edad en una muestra de 393 participantes. Resultados: El estudio incluyó 393 participantes (208 mujeres y 185 hombres), con una edad media de 44 años y un IMC de 25.9 ± 4.1. La edad se correlacionó negativamente con el número de repeticiones (R= -0.493 a los 60 segundos y R= -0.497 a los 30 segundos). La estatura mostró una correlación positiva con el desempeño (R= 0.262 en 60 segundos). Un IMC mayor se asoció con un peor rendimiento (R= -0.119 en 60 segundos y R= -0.153 en 30 segundos). Conclusiones: Este estudio establece valores de referencia para la prueba STS en adultos sanos en Colombia, considerando variables como la edad, el sexo, el IMC y el nivel de actividad física.
