Exercise Testing

6MWT normas
Kirill Shumilov

At our clinic we do the 6mwt during the initial intake for the outcome measure and AACVPR certification. I've noticed that some CR programs, respiratory therapists, and physical therapists note a 6mwt norm. For example, a patient would walk 400m and in the note a norm of 450m would be noted based off gender and age. Does anyone else look at 6mwt norms? If so, is there a citation or formula that is used?
