The 6-min walk test is a simple and accurate method to measure functional exercise capacity in children. We provide smooth reference curves for the modified 6-min walk test in 696 healthy children and adolescents aged 4-19 years, enabling calculation of sex-, age-, and height-specific Z-scores.
These reference curves will allow more accurate grading of mobility and exercise capacity in sick or disabled children and monitoring the effects of intervention or treatment.
6分钟步行试验是一种测量儿童功能运动能力的简单而准确的方法。我们为696名4至19岁的健康儿童和青少年的改良6分钟步行试验提供了平滑的参考曲线,从而能够计算出按性别、年龄和身高特定的Z分数。
这些参考曲线将使对患病或残疾儿童的活动能力和运动能力进行更准确的分级,并监测干预或治疗的效果。
