Six Minute Walk Distance and Six Minute Walk Work in Young Adults Aged 18-25 Years

Abstract

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that reference equation for six minute walk test (6MWT) derived from one population did not appropriately predict the six minute walk distance (6MWD) in another population. The outcome of 6MWT can also be stated in terms of six minute walk work (6MWw). Objective: The present study aimed to: study the normal values, to investigate the factors influencing the 6MWD and 6MWw; to develop prediction equation for 6MWD in young Indian adults aged 18-25years. Method: After initial screening and physical.
