Abstract

Background: Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk of poor health due to low aerobic fitness, yet valid assessment methods are limited, especially for individuals with severe CP. This study validated the 6-Minute Frame Running Test (6-MFRT) for assessing aerobic capacity in adolescents and young adults with CP.

Method: Cardiorespiratory responses, blood lactate levels, and subjective exertion during the 6-MFRT were compared with data from the Frame Running Incremental Treadmill Test (FRITT) in 16 participants with CP, age 23 (6.5) years, with Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels II-V.

Results: A strong correlation was found between peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in the 6-MFRT and FRITT (r = .95, p < .001) and between 6-MFRT distance and VO2peak (r = .71, p = .005). No significant difference in VO2peak was observed between tests (p = .186).

Conclusion: The 6-MFRT is a field test for estimating aerobic capacity in frame-running athletes with CP.

6分钟框架跑步试验作为青少年和青年脑瘫患者心肺运动试验的验证。

背景：脑瘫（CP）患者由于有氧适能低而存在健康状况不佳的风险，但有效的评估方法有限，特别是对重度脑瘫患者。本研究验证了6分钟框架跑步测试（6-MFRT）评估青少年和年轻脑瘫患者有氧能力的有效性。在6-MFRT期间，将心肺反应、血乳酸水平和主观体力消耗与16名年龄23（6.5）岁、大运动功能分类系统等级为II-V的CP患者的框架跑步增量跑步机测试（FRITT）的数据进行比较。结果：6-MFRT和FRITT的峰值摄氧量（VO2peak）有很强的相关性（r = 0.95, p < 0.001）， 6-MFRT距离与VO2peak之间有很强的相关性（r = 0.71, p = 0.005）。两组vo2峰值无显著性差异（p = 0.186）。结论：6-MFRT是一种评估框架跑运动员有氧能力的现场测试方法。
