Six Minute Walking Test
It is applied in a 30 m long corridor in an indoor environment, and the distance walked by the patient in a six-minute period, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and change in dyspnea are recorded. For this, before starting the test, oxygen saturation, heart rate, arterial blood pressure and dyspnea level according to the Borg scale are recorded. The same parameters are measured again at the end of the test. The feature of this test is that the person walks at his own pace, stopping when necessary and allowing the use of oxygen. It is an exercise test that is easy to perform and well tolerated.
Shuttle walking test
Shuttle walking test at increasing speed is an exercise test in which walk between two cones 10 m apart at an increasing speed throughout the test and each 10-meter journey between the two cones is counted as a shuttle.
