PURPOSE
The purposes of this study were to expand age ranges for a previously published normative database (n = 227) on the 30-second walk test, describe changes with age, explore contributions of subject characteristics, and verify previous data.
METHODS
Children (n = 302; age, 5-17 years) from 4 urban schools were tested for distance walked in 30 seconds. Age, height, right lower extremity length, weight, sex, and race/ethnicity were recorded.
RESULTS
Distance walked increased from 5 to 10 years of age, decreased slightly at age 11 years, followed by a more gradual decrease from 12 to 17 years. A significant difference in distance walked was found across ages. Right leg length, age, and weight explained 11.5% of the variance in walk distance.
CONCLUSION
A percentile chart of the pooled data (previous and current, n = 529) should facilitate the use of the 30-second walk test when examining children for mobility limitations.
目的
本研究的目的是扩大先前发表的关于30秒步行测试的规范数据库（n = 227）的年龄范围，描述随年龄的变化，探讨受试者特征的影响，并验证先前的数据。
方法
对来自4所城市学校的302名儿童（年龄5至17岁）进行30秒步行距离测试。记录年龄、身高、右下肢长度、体重、性别和种族/民族。
结果
步行距离在5至10岁时增加，11岁时略有下降，随后从12至17岁逐渐下降。各年龄组的步行距离存在显著差异。右腿长度、年龄和体重解释了步行距离方差的11.5%。
结论
合并数据（先前数据和当前数据，n = 529）的百分位数图表应有助于在检查儿童运动功能受限情况时使用30秒步行测试。
