Reference values for the 6-min walk test in healthy subjects 20–50 years old

In 102 healthy Caucasians, 20–50 years old, we investigated the effect of anthropometrics on the 6-min walk test (6MWT), in order to provide reference values for walk distance (6MWD), oxygen saturation (SpO 2), pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR), breathlessness perception (VAS) and for the walki...

Zusammenfassung:In 102 healthy Caucasians, 20–50 years old, we investigated the effect of anthropometrics on the 6-min walk test (6MWT), in order to provide reference values for walk distance (6MWD), oxygen saturation (SpO 2), pulse rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR), breathlessness perception (VAS) and for the walking distance and body weight product ( DW). The mean 6MWD and DW values were 593±57 and 638±44 m ( P
