This study investigates the validity of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1MSTS) as a practical and time-efficient alternative to the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) for assessing functional exercise capacity in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Children aged 5 to 18 years with spastic hemiplegic CP, classified as Level I or II according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), will perform both tests on the same day. Cardiopulmonary responses and fatigue will be monitored before and after each test. The study aims to determine whether the 1MSTS can be reliably used in clinical settings as a simpler assessment tool for this population.
