The Glittre ADL-test (TGlittre), validated to assess the functional capacity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, has as outcome the shortest total time required to complete it. To date, little is known about the time that healthy individuals take to perform it. This study aimed to describe the total and shortest times spent to perform TGlittre in a sample of healthy adults, and to assess the reliability of the test in this population. The subjects underwent spirometry pre- and post-bronchodilator, anthropometric assessment, International Physical Activity Questionnaire and two TGlittre. 35 subjects were evaluated (15 men), of 29±6 years of age, with forced vital capacity (FVC) of 96±10.6% and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) of 97.6±9.26%, in % of predicted, and FEV1/FVC of 0.86±0.05; height of 1.72±0.11m; weight of 24.5±3.62kg and body mass index of 24.2±3.87kg/m2, being 74.3% and 25.7% with low and moderate physical activity level, respectively. The mean time spent on the test with better performance was 2.62±0.34min. There was no difference in performance among age groups (p>;0.05). There was a mean reduction of 6.3±5.8% in the time between TGlittre1 and TGlittre2, however, this difference was not statistically significant (p>;0.05). An intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.88 (p<0.05) between the time of TGlittre1 and 2 was found. The results suggest that in a sample of healthy adults, the shortest and mean time to complete the test are 2.03 and 2.62min, respectively, and that TGlittre is reliable in these subjects.Downloads
