Comparison of the 6-minute walk distance measured on a 30 m track with guidance of a healthcare professional and those measured with a mobile application outdoors by participants themselves: a validation study.

To improve the practical application of measuring exercise capacity, the purpose of this study was to compare the 6 min walk distance (6MWD) obtained at a 30 m track with the guidance of healthcare professionals vs. the 6MWD obtained by participants themselves using an app. In total, 37 participants performed both tests.
