Six-minute walk test in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006-07-01)
The 6-min walk test is a simple, rapid,and low-cost method that determines tolerance to exercise. We examined the reproducibility of the 6-min walk test in 16 children with cystic fibrosis (11 female, 5 male; age range, ...
Reproducibility of 6-minute walking test in patients with COPD
(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2011-08-01)
The reproducibility of the 6-min walking test (6MWT) needs to be more solidly studied. This study aimed to investigate the reproducibility of two 6MWTs performed on subsequent days in a large and representative sample of ...

Improvements in the 6-Min Walk Test and Spirometry Following Thoracentesis for Symptomatic Pleural Effusions
(AMER COLL CHEST PHYSICIANS, 2011)
Background: Impairment in pulmonary capacity due to pleural effusion compromises daily activity. Removal of fluid improves symptoms, but the impact, especially on exercise capacity, has not been determined. Methods: ...
Teste graduado da caminhada (Shuttle Walk Test) na avaliação funcional de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca crônica
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2006-01-01)
Objetivos: Avaliar a segurança, reprodutibilidade, a acurácia em estimar o consumo de oxigênio pico e o valor prognóstico do teste graduado da caminhada (“shuttle walk test”), em comparação com o teste da caminhada de seis ...
A Simple Approach to Assess VT During a Field Walk Test
(Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2010-10-01)
We aimed to examine whether the ventilatory threshold (VT) during an incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) could be determined using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Further aims were to assess variables capable of ...

A cross-sectional study of differences in 6-min walk distance in healthy adults residing at high altitude versus sea level
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: We sought to determine if adult residents living at high altitude have developed sufficient adaptation to a hypoxic environment to match the functional capacity of a similar population at sea level. To test ...
Effect of Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain on Walking Economy: An Observational Study
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-01-01)
The authors investigated the effects of chronic low back pain (LBP) and walking speed (WS) on metabolic power and cost of transport (CT). Subjects with chronic nonspecific LBP (LBP group [LG]; n = 9) and healthy (control ...
