2. 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) Shutterstock For this test, you'll need a flat, straight walking area, typically 30 meters long, a stopwatch, and cones or markers to indicate the turnaround points.
The test takes 15–20 minutes and comprises a set of 14 simple balance related tasks, ranging from standing up from a sitting position, to standing on one foot. The degree of success in achieving each task is given a score of zero (unable) to four (independent), and the final measure is the sum of all of the scores.
I tried the test out with Bonnes as my timekeeper. She told me I walk 3.14 meters per second because I completed the test in 1.91 seconds. That is faster than average for my age group, and ...
