The PAY test: a new approach for assessing functional performance in children and adolescents with asthma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop, validate, and test the reproducibility of a new test capable of assessing functional performance in children and adolescents (PAY test: Performance Activity in Youth).

Methods

participants without and with asthma were included in the development and validation phases, respectively. The PAY test includes five activities: transition from sitting to standing, walking 10 m, step climbing, shoulder extension and flexion, and star jumps. Participants underwent the Pediatric Glittre test (TGlittre-P test time), modified shuttle test (MST), and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET).

Outcomes

PAY test and TGlittre-P test times, oxygen uptake (VO_2peak), and distance walked in the MST.

Results
