Since obesity in children and adolescents is a public health concern, the search for efficient diagnostic tools to assess functional capacity and cardiovascular fitness has grown in recent decades. Submaximal exercise testing, such as walking tests may provide safe, practical means of assessing functional status, 1 monitoring treatment 2,3 and establishing prognosis. 4,5 The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) has shown good validity and reliability. 6,7 It is considered a highly relevant test that reflects the physical activities of daily living, 8 as well as cardiopulmonary fitness in both healthy children 4 and children with various diseases. 8 In addition to the assessment of cardiopulmonary and functional status, it has been reported that 6MWT could be a reliable way to predict peak oxygen uptake 7 and maximal fat oxidation rate in children and adolescents with obesity. 1,3 Indeed, the maximal fat oxidation rate represents exercise intensity at which the highest rate

“…V′ O 2 peak may be defined as the maximum capacity to uptake and transport oxygen in the pulmonary and cardiovascular system, and of the capacity of the exercising muscles to utilise oxygen. When performing a direct measurement of V′ O 2 peak , the test must be conducted using a treadmill or a cycle ergometer, but V′ O 2 peak can also be estimated from field tests like the 6MWT [42]. In CF, V′ O 2 peak is significantly correlated with survival and quality of life leading to recommendations that it should be part of the annual assessment [43].…”

Pulmonary function testing in children's interstitial lung disease

et al. 2020

The use of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) has been widely described in airway diseases like asthma and cystic fibrosis, but for children's interstitial lung disease (chILD), which encompasses a broad spectrum of pathologies, the usefulness of PFTs is still undetermined, despite widespread use in adult interstitial lung disease. A literature review was initiated by the COST/Enter chILD working group aiming to describe published studies, to identify gaps in knowledge and to propose future research goals in regard to spirometry, whole-body plethysmography, infant and pre-school PFTs, measurement of diffusing capacity, multiple breath washout and cardiopulmonary exercise tests in chILD. The search revealed a limited number of papers published in the past three decades, of which the majority were descriptive and did not report pulmonary function as the main outcome.PFTs may be useful in different stages of management of children with suspected or confirmed chILD, but the chILD spectrum is diverse and includes a heterogeneous patient group in all ages. Research studies in well-defined patient cohorts are needed to establish which PFT and outcomes are most relevant for diagnosis, evaluation of disease severity and course, and monitoring individual conditions both for improvement in clinical care and as end-points in future randomised controlled trials.

“…Cada participante fue categorizado de acuerdo al puntaje de RCV de Alustiza (tabla 1), que define 3 niveles de riesgo: bajo (0 a 6 puntos), medio (7 a 8 puntos) y alto (9 o más puntos), lo que se traduciría en una mayor probabilidad de desarrollar una enfermedad cardiovascular 14 . Se realizó la PC6M según protocolo de la American Thoracic Society (ATS) para estimar su capacidad cardiorrespiratoria [11][12][13] . El objetivo de dicha prueba es cubrir la mayor distancia posible en seis minutos.…”

“…Dentro de estas últimas se encuentran las pruebas de ejercicio cardiorrespiratorio. La más utilizada y recomendada en niños y adolescentes es la prueba de lanzadera de 20 m y, si la población es de riesgo, la PC6M, dado que es una prueba sencilla, segura, confiable y de gran validez [10][11][12][13] .…”

Respuesta a la prueba de caminata de seis minutos en niños con riesgo cardiovascular

El riesgo cardiovascular (RCV) se define como la posibilidad que tiene un sujeto de sufrir una enfermedad cardiovascular dentro de un determinado plazo de tiempo. Si bien la patología se hace sintomatica en etapa adulta, los cambios fisiopatológicos comienzan a desarrollarse en edades tempranas.Objetivo: Establecer la relación entre capacidad cardiorrespiratoria, estimada a través de la prueba de caminata de seis minutos (PC6M), y el RCV en niños con síndrome metabólico.Pacientes y Método: Se analizaron 42 niños, edad 5 a 15 años, que asistieron a la Unidad de Cardiología Infantil del Hospital Carlos Van Buren entre los años 2015 y 2017. Cada participante se categorizó de acuerdo al puntaje de RCV de Alustiza, que define 3 niveles de riesgo: bajo (0 a 6 puntos), medio (7 a 8 puntos) y alto (9 o más puntos), lo que se traduciría en una mayor probabilidad de desarrollar una enfermedad cardiovascular, y realizó concomitantemente la PC6M.Resultados: La edad media del grupo de niños fue de 10,9 ± 2,7 años, con un Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) = 31,0 ± 4,6 kg/m2 (z-score 3,2 ± 0,7). Los niños recorren 75,2 ± 8,9 por ciento de la distancia teórica, con un porcentaje de frecuencia cardíaca de reserva (FCR) = 31,0 ± 9,4. No se observaron relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre RCV y PC6M.Conclusiones: No se encuentra relación entre la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria y RCV. Se cuestiona la utilidad de la PC6M para valorar el RCV en la población de estudio.

Prediction of Maximal Oxygen Uptake by Six-Minute Walk Test and Body Mass Index in Healthy Boys

Abstract: This study provides a relatively accurate and convenient VO2max prediction equation based on the 6MWT and body mass index in healthy boys. This model can be used for evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness of boys in different settings.
