NIH toolbox adapted the instructions from the American Thoracic Society's 6 minute walk test. Normative data establish with n = 4800 ages 5 - 85. NIH study utilized a 50 ft. course.
As such, they derived equations for predicting the distance a participant (age 18-85) should be able to walk. Women: 257.177 - (0.723 x age) - (1.688 x BMI) Men: 279.096 - (0.998 x age) - (1.426 x BMI) One study looked specifically at the paediatric /adolescent populations.
Meta-analysis was used to consolidate two-minute walk test data stratified by gender and age group. [Results] Data from four articles was consolidated. Normative two-minute walk test distances varied from 150.3 m (women, 70 to 79 years) to 217.9 m (men, 20 to 29 tears).
Objectives: To provide (1) normative reference values for the 2-minute walk test (2MWT), (2) reference equations for the 2MWT, and (3) information on the reliability and responsiveness of the 2MWT across the adult lifespan.
Personalized Reference Values for the Two-Minute Walk Test: An Analysis of Cross-Sectional Data from the NIH Toolbox Study. Authors: Kittelson, A. J., & Loyd, B. J. Journal Article: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Year Published: 2023. Age: Adult (18-65), Older Adult (65+)
The 2-minute Walk is a measure of how far a person can safely walk in two minutes. It is intended to test physical fitness and endurance. Many factors can affect performance on this activity, including a person's age and height.
