The submaximal exercise test for which reliability and concurrent validity data were found in CP was the 1-minute walk test (MWT; intraclass correlation [ICC]=0.94 for GMFCS levels I, II, III, and IV; significant correlation between Gross Motor Function Measure score and the distance covered during the 1min walk).…”
