Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the validity and reliability of the 6-minute walk test (T6MWT) on a treadmill to better predict aerobic capacity and assess health risks in chronic conditions.
- 20 healthy participants (9 men and 11 women, aged around 29.5) underwent three treadmill tests and a cycle ergometer test to measure maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max).
- The T6MWT showed strong reliability for measuring distance and heart rate, effectively predicting VO2max in healthy adults, suggesting it could be useful in clinical settings, especially for those with chronic diseases.
