Feasibility, Test–Retest Reliability and Convergent Validity of the Two‐Minute Step Test in Older Adults With Intellectual Disabilities
The 2MST is a feasible, reliable and valid test to use in older adults with ID. Feasibility was especially good in older adults with borderline to moderate ID; however, it was low in adults with more severe ID. The excellent test-retest reliability and good indications for convergent validity show this test is a suitable field test for cardiorespiratory fitness to use in older adults with ID.
