“…This result was also observed in the study by Goemans et al (29). Finally, it is widely acknowledged that certain factors can in luence the TC6' results and, consequently, the distance walked, such as the child-juvenile growth and development period (puberty and growth spurt), which can interfere in the child's pace and speed (9,30).…”

Introduction: Six-minute walk test (TC6') and peak expiratory low (PEF) can be in luenced by variables like gender, age and body mass index (BMI). In the school context, these tests can identify losses caused by sedentary habits and/or manifestation of overweight/obesity. Nevertheless, although widely studied in the adult context, they have not been properly clari ied in the child public. Objective: To assess the PEF and TC6' between students in the public and private network and to correlate them with factors like age, gender and BMI. Methods: 39 male and female children between eight and ten years of age were selected for the study. The TC6' was held at a sports court. The child was instructed to walk at maximum speed for six minutes and the PEF test took place in accordance to the recommendations by Pereira et al (1). Results: No signi icant correlation was found between the BMI and the PEF and TC6' scores. No signi icant correlation was found between sex and PEF, with measures within normal parameters for the entire sample. The EPF measures did not in luence the distance walked in the TC6'. A signi icant correlation was found between sex and distance walked in the TC6' only among male children attending public schools. Conclusion: Both sex and BMI did not in luence the PEF measures which, in turn, does not seem to have in luenced the distance the sample walked in the TC6'. Also concerning the TC6', only the children from public school reached the normal scores proposed in the literature.

“…It is considered an important alternative to replace the maximum effort tests which, although elected as the gold standard to estimate tolerance to efforts, are dif icult to execute for the child public because they demand high-cost equipment and the recruitment of specialized staff (9).…”

“…8,[14][15][16] In this group, the influence of anthropometric factors on test performance is discussed, as they are growing and developing, and there is a need for more specific technical standards for the age group, such as verbal command and pictorial effort scales. 17 That said, it is necessary to know the behavior of the cardiovascular, ventilatory and metabolic demands induced by the 6MWT when it is performed by the pediatric population, in addition to the real need for two tests on the same day, regarding their usual indication for evaluation and clinical monitoring of children with chronic diseases. 7,14 The objective of the present study was to verify the reproducibility of performance and physiological variables (cardiovascular, ventilatory and metabolic) of the 6MWT performed by healthy students.…”

Objective: To verify the reproducibility of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) performance and its physiological variables in healthy students. Methods: This is as prospective cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of healthy students aged 6-12 years old from public and private schools in the region of Florianópolis City, Santa Catarina State, (Southern Brazil). The medical state was considered according to the health records and scores on the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) and the spirometric values of forced expiratory volume in the first second and forced vital capacity above 80% of what was predicted. Two 6MWTs were conducted with a 30-minute interval between them, following the recommendations from the American Thoracic Society. Physiologic variables were recorded using the portable telemetric gas analyzer K4b2 (Cosmed®, Italy). For analysis, the dyspnea index, the perception of effort and performance variables identified in both 6MWT were considered. Data distribution was verified with the Shapiro-Wilk test and statistical analysis included paired t-test or Wilcoxon test, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The significance level adopted was 5%. Results: A total of 22 students with a mean age of 10.2±1.5 years participated in the study. The covered distance and the variation of oxygen consumption reproducibility between the two 6MWTs presented ICC=0.76 and ICC=0.86, respectively. There was also similar behavior of the physiological variables when comparing the two tests (p=0.001), especially the minute volume (MV), the oxygen consumption (VO2), and the carbon dioxide production (VCO2). Conclusions: The 6MWT showed reproducible values, both in performance and physiological parameters, in the healthy students analyzed.

“…The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a clinical evaluation performed by a submaximal effort 1 that estimates the functional capacity of patients by measuring the distance covered (6MWD) in a flat corridor for a period of six minutes 2,3 . The test is considered an important complementary tool in monitoring the solution of cardiorespiratory diseases 4 , and can be used in primary health care services as long as there are reference values for the different biotypes.…”

“…The 6MWT is used to measure the physical capacity of adults and young people with some type of cardiorespiratory pathology, as its application is simple, low cost, and has a significant correlation with gold standard tests (more complex and with higher application costs) and high reproducibility [2][3][4] . Evaluation is also a reliable tool when pointing out the relationship between physical fitness, oxygen consumption and functional status of the cardiovascular and respiratory system of healthy individuals 5 and patients with diseases, including assessing the ability to perform activities of daily living 3,4,[6][7][8][9] .…”

RESUMO O objetivo desta pesquisa foi estabelecer valores médios percorridos para o teste de caminhada de seis minutos em crianças saudáveis no Norte do Brasil. Este foi um estudo experimental, randomizado, cego e transversal que avaliou 63 crianças saudáveis do sexo masculino e feminino, de 10 a 12 anos, que após terem seus dados antropométricos registrados foram treinadas e instruídas para a realização do teste conforme recomendações da American Thoracic Society, após avaliação-padrão. O teste foi realizado numa pista reta de 30 metros, com marcações a cada 3 metros e cones indicando onde o retorno deveria ser feito para a continuidade do teste. Ao final, foi refeita a avaliação pré-teste. Foi observado índice de massa corporal muito baixo nos meninos de 11 anos, e normal nas outras faixas. A frequência cardíaca imediata pós-teste apresentou-se significativamente elevada em todos os grupos (p<0,001), enquanto todos os outros dados cardiovasculares colhidos não apresentaram alterações. As distâncias percorridas foram significativamente inferiores às previstas por equação-padrão para todos os grupos e sexos (p<0,0001). O valor médio percorrido encontrado em meninas foi de 436,30±56,74m e 460,80±63,90m em meninos, enquanto a média geral foi de 445,70±54,10m, abaixo dos valores esperados para a amostra. O resultado obtido pelo grupo estudado, menor que a média esperada, pode ser creditado ao fenótipo regional, mas o Índice de Desenvolvimento muito mais baixo que a média brasileira deve ter sua influência mais bem estudada. Espera-se que os achados contribuam no apontamento de valores de referência do teste em crianças do Norte brasileiro.
