"Objectives To evaluate the reliability of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in individuals with Down syndrome and explore factors affecting walking distance. Design Four repeated walk tests in the span of 2 weeks including 2 practice walks. Setting All tests were carried out in a 40-meter corridor at a university sport complex. Participants Adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome (N=55) aged 11 to 26 years. Intervention Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure Participants were instructed to walk as far as possible for the duration of 6 minutes. Distance walked, heart rate, blood pressure, and perceived exertion were measured across 4 tests (t1, t2, t3, and t4). Results The walking distances for t1, t2, t3, and t4 averaged 395, 428, 433, and 436 meters, respectively. The 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) during t1 and t2 was significantly different from that during t3 and t4 (t54=−6.475, P<.001 repeated analysis of variance showed no significant difference between the distance walked in t3 and t4 vs p=".124)." body mass index as well levels intellectual disability physical activity all affected to different degrees.> Conclusions The 6MWT showed good test-retest reliability and increased the walking distance after 2 practice walks, emphasizing the need to account for a learning effect among people with Down syndrome. Reported 6MWD appears lower than that previously reported for individuals without Down syndrome." |
