Goal

To evaluate cardiovascular endurance and mobility.

Equipment:

A flat course that was calibrated using blocks, a stopwatch, a heart rate monitor.

Equipment

After a warm-up, the subject must walk as many meters as possible in 6 minutes.

Measurements

Length covered and number of heartbeats is measured at the end of the test?

Directions

Count the number of lifts.

Reference equations for healthy adults:

Men:

DM6M = (7.57 × taillecm) − (5.02 × âge) − (1.76 × poidskg) − 309 m.

Equation alternative utilisant l’IMC*:

DM6M = 1.140 m − (5.61 × BMI) − (6.94 × age).

Whatever the equation used, subtract 153 m to obtain the LBN

Reference equations for healthy adults:

Men:

DM6M = (2.11 × heightcm) − (2.29 × weightskg) − (5.78 × age) + 667 m.

Alternative equation using BMI:

DM6M = 1.017 m − (6.24 × BMI) − (5.83 × age).

Whatever the equation used, subtract 139 m to obtain the LBN
