Summary

RExA-CF is investing if results from exercise tests (the Chester Step Test and the One-Minute Sit-to-Stand test) completed face to face are comparable to results of the same tests completed via a virtual teleconferencing platform. The study involves two exercise testing sessions (one face-to-face and one via a video link), with participants being randomised to complete the two exercise tests (the 1-minute sit-to-stand test and the Chester Step test). The two testing sessions will be completed within three weeks of each other, the order of which will be randomly allocated. One session will be completed face-to-face during a pre-arranged visit to the hospital, the other test session will be completed through a video call at a time convenient to the participants. After the second testing session participants will be asked some questions about the face-to-face and video tests to get their views about the two formats.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	One-Minute Sit-to-Stand Test	This test involves sitting down and standing up from a normal height chair (can be a dining room or kitchen chair at home) for one minute. Participants can rest or stop at any time if fatigued. Participants will be asked to record your heart rate and oxygen levels before and after the test and will be given a monitor to do this with if they do not already have one. This test should take a maximum of 5 minutes.
PROCEDURE	Chester Step Test	This test involves the participant stepping up and down off of a step (this can be a bottom stair or doorstep at home) keeping up with the beat of a recording. The speed of the beat increases every 2 minutes, and the test continues until the participant cannot keep up with the pace, wish to stop or the test ends which takes 10 minutes. Participants will be asked to record heart rate and oxygen levels before and after the test. This test should take a maximum of 15 minutes.
