The purpose of this study is to perform the 6-minute walk test, 1-minute sit-to-stand test, and 6-minute step test in the same patients with interstitial lung disease and to clarify the following three points. First, the concurrent validity of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test and the 6-minute step test against the 6-minute walk test will be examined based on the correlations among 6-minute walk distance, the number of repetitions in the 1-minute sit-to-stand test, and the number of steps in the 6-minute step test. Second, the validity of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test and the 6-minute step test for detecting exercise-induced desaturation compared with the 6-minute walk test will be examined. Third, the agreement in exercise limitation factors related to respiratory, circulatory, and skeletal muscle function will be evaluated to determine whether the 1-minute sit-to-stand test and the 6-minute step test can detect exercise limitation factors to a similar extent as the 6-minute walk test.

Validation of assessment methods
1. Concurrent validity based on the correlations among the 6-minute walk distance in the 6-minute walk test, the number of repetitions in the 1-minute sit-to-stand test, and the number of steps in the 6-minute step test
2. Validity of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test and the 6-minute step test for detecting exercise-induced desaturation compared with the 6-minute walk test
3. Agreement in exercise limitation factors related to respiratory, circulatory, and skeletal muscle function, namely whether the 1-minute sit-to-stand test and the 6-minute step test can detect exercise limitation factors to a similar extent as the 6-minute walk test
As exploratory outcomes, the following variables will be collected or assessed:
Patient characteristics: age, sex, height, body weight, body mass index, GAP Index, smoking history, diagnosis, disease history, and medication history.
Blood tests: PaO2, PaCO2, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, KL-6, and SP-D.
Pulmonary function: VC, %VC, FVC, %FVC, FEV1.0, %FEV1.0, DLco, %DLco, MIP, and MEP.
Dyspnea: modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale.
Physical function: Short Physical Performance Battery.
Skeletal muscle assessment: grip strength, isometric knee extension strength, skeletal muscle mass, muscle mass, and skeletal muscle index.
Exercise tests: In the 6-minute walk test, 6-minute walk distance, modified Borg Scale scores for dyspnea and lower-limb fatigue, blood pressure, SpO2, respiratory rate, heart rate, tissue oxygen saturation (tissue saturation index: TSI, tissue oxygen saturation: StO2), oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and total hemoglobin will be assessed. In the 1-minute sit-to-stand test, the number of repetitions, modified Borg Scale scores for dyspnea and lower-limb fatigue, blood pressure, SpO2, respiratory rate, heart rate, tissue oxygen saturation (TSI, StO2), oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and total hemoglobin will be assessed. In the 6-minute step test, the number of steps, modified Borg Scale scores for dyspnea and lower-limb fatigue, blood pressure, SpO2, respiratory rate, heart rate, tissue oxygen saturation (TSI, StO2), oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and total hemoglobin will be assessed.

Participants will undergo the 6-minute walk test, 1-minute sit-to-stand test, and 6-minute step test. During each test, SpO2 and heart rate will be measured using a pulse oximeter, tissue saturation index (tissue oxygen saturation) of the right vastus lateralis will be assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy, and video recording will be performed to evaluate respiratory rate. Adequate rest will be provided between tests, and the procedures will be performed with priority given to safety while monitoring general condition, respiratory status, SpO2, subjective symptoms, and fatigue. For each participant, measurements will be performed over approximately 1 to 2 days for inpatients and over 2 to 3 days within approximately 1 month for outpatients. The participant's physical condition and clinical schedule will be prioritized, and the assessments may be divided into separate sessions as needed.
