6 Minute Walk Test Interpretation to METs Calculator
Introduction & Importance
The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is a submaximal exercise test that measures functional capacity. Interpreting the results in metabolic equivalents (METs) provides valuable insights into a patient’s functional capacity and helps guide treatment decisions.
For more information, refer to the NHLBI’s guide on the 6-minute walk test and the study on the validity of the 6MWT.
