“…In most of the studies involving field analysis, for evaluation of physical fitness, 6MWT is preferred over other laboratory tests. In our study we had used 6MWD to study their physical fitness because it has following benefits such as walking is one of the normal activities of life reflecting the capacity to do daily activities (Makniet al, 2012), it is simple, easy to administer, it has low cost and can be used in routine (Makni et al, 2012;Kanburoglu, 2014;Roush, 2006;Geiger et al, 2010;Ulrich et al, 2013) validated to have high correlation with workloads, HR, oxygen saturation & dyspnoea responses when compared with standard cycle ergometry& treadmill exercise tests (Makniet al, 2012;Kanburoglu, 2014;Roush, 2006;Ulrich et al, 2013), direct correlation with quality of life which enables an individual to cope against disease process and remain independent (Makniet al, 2012;Ulrich et al, 2013), provides opportunity to evaluate patient in a timely, practical and economical manner (Makniet al, 2012;Ulrich et al, 2013), repeated measurements are possible as the patient has to be evaluated in a disease progression manner (Makniet al, 2012;Geiger et al, 2010;Ulrich et al, 2013) relationships found between 6MWD and crude power and / or HR at which fat oxidation reaches its maximum is the most useful information in targeting the planning of training procedure (Makni et al, 2012;Geiger et al, 2010. However, there are various drawbacks of 6MWD as it may not change with increase in age because of ever-changing hormones and energy levels or discrepancy of inner motivation of children at different ages.…”
