6MWT Distance Conversion Table

Uploaded by

mirna
This table provides conversions between the distance walked during a 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and metabolic equivalents (METs). It shows the distance walked in feet and meters, the corresponding miles per hour, meters walked per minute, oxygen consumption in ml/kg/min, and METs for distances between 500 to 3000 feet. The formula used to calculate METs from walking speed is also provided, and it is noted that the formula is most accurate for speeds between 1.9 to 3.7 mph.

Formula is most accurate for estimating MET levels for horizontal walking speeds between
1.9 to 3.7 mph (50-100 m∙min-1).

*VO2 (METs) = [0.1 x _____speed (m∙min-1) + 3.5mLO2∙kg∙min-1 ] ÷ 3.5mLO2∙kg∙min-1
