2021年8月1日 · The 2 Minute Step Test is used to assess an individual’s aerobic capacity and evaluate their level of functional fitness.

Studies described varied methods of conducting the TMST. Among tests in which steps for one side were counted over a full 2 minutes, the mean number of steps among populations ranged from 29.1 for patients with chronic stroke to 110.8 for older osteoporotic women. Numerous reviewed studies provide support for the validity of the TMST.

Specifically, the Six-minute Walk Test (SMWT) and Three-minute Step Test (TMST) were compared to determine their appropriateness for use as field tests and inclusion in the NIH Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function. Individuals between 14 and 85 years performed both the SMWT and TMST in random order.

TMST 于 1999 年作为高级体能测试的一部分首次推出，其优点是空间有限，只需几分钟时间，并且不需要昂贵的设备。 尽管有这些优点，但如果要推荐，该测试必须在临床上是可靠的。 因此，我们试图总结解决 TMST 性能和测量特性的文献。 方法：通过搜索 3 个电子数据库（PubMed、Scopus 和 Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health）和手动搜索来确定相关文献。 包含一篇文章要求它描述了 Rikli 和 Jones 的 TMST 的使用，并且它专注于成年人。 以英语以外的 …

The 2-minute step test (TMST) is one of many alternatives for measuring exercise capacity. First introduced in 1999 as part of the Senior Fitness Test, the TMST has the advantage of requiring limited space, only a few minutes' time, and no expensive equipment.

2021年11月1日 · The 2-Minute Step Test (2MST) is used to assess aerobic endurance and functional fitness originally in the geriatric population (aged 60-94 years) 1; however, this test is also used with populations such as cancer, Alzheimer dementia, cardiovascular disease (heart failure, HTN), stroke, renal disease, pulmonary disorder, healthy adults, and ...

To assess functional capacity and physical fitness, there are several field tests available, and one such test is the two-minute step test (TMST). This test is commonly used to measure exercise capacity, particularly in the elderly population.

The use of atropine as an adjunct to standard TMST can help decrease the number of inconclusive tests, even in patients taking beta-blockers. Larger studies are warranted to further define the role of atropine in diagnostic TMST.
