Develop of native aerobic power prediction equation by the 6-minute walk test in healthy child
Aerobic power (VO2max) is an important indicator of the health and physical fitness. Executive problems in direct VO2max measurement has led to developing sub-maximal aerobic power prediction equations. The purpose of present study was to develop native aerobic power prediction equation based on 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and body composition indices in children. In 192 healthy children (8 to 12...

متن کامل6-Minute Walk Distance
We commend Mullen et al 1 for their recent article in CHEST (February 2014) on quality of life and parental adjustment in pediatric pulmonary hypertension. It is indeed a very valuable research question that the authors have made an attempt to answer. However, we would like to point out a number of methodologic concerns that we fear might limit the validity of the study results. The small sampl...
متن کاملThe six-minute walk test.
The American Thoracic Society has issued guidelines for the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The 6MWT is safer, easier to administer, better tolerated, and better reflects activities of daily living than other walk tests (such as the shuttle walk test). The primary measurement is 6-min walk distance (6MWD), but during the 6MWT data can also be collected about the patient's blood oxygen saturation and...
