This research; (i) evaluated the measurement properties of the two-minute walk test (2MWT), including the effect of test repetition, coefficient of repeatability and validity, and compared the cardiorespiratory responses and symptoms reported during the 2MWT and the six-minute walk test, (ii) developed regression equations to estimate the two-minute walk distance and (iii) evaluated the effectiveness of an exercise program in people hospitalised with an AECOPD on exercise capacity, muscle force, functional performance and physical activity. | en_US |
