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 |
