متن کاملReference equations for the six-minute walk distance in the healthy Chinese population aged 18–59 years
BACKGROUND The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a safe, simple, inexpensive tool for evaluating the functional exercise capacity. However, there is a lack of standard reference equations for the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) in the healthy Chinese Han population with an age of 18-30 years. The aims of the present study were as follows: 1) to measure the anthropometric data and the walking dista...
متن کاملReference Equations for the Six-Minute Walk Distance in Healthy Korean Adults, Aged 22-59 Years
BACKGROUND The six-minute walk test has been widely used in people with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders as an outcome assessment with regards to therapeutic or prognostic determinants. This study was undertaken to determine the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) in a sample of healthy Koreans and to create a reference equation. We also compared the 6MWD of our cohort with previously published eq...
متن کاملReference values for the 6-minute walk test in healthy children and adolescents in Switzerland
BACKGROUND The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a simple, low tech, safe and well established, self-paced assessment tool to quantify functional exercise capacity in adults.
