Validation of the Six-Minute Walk Test for Predicting Peak VO2 in Cancer Survivors

Purpose To assess the quality of the relationship between VO2peak estimated from patient outcomes on the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) and the VO2peak calculated from patient outcomes on the University of Northern Colorado Cancer Rehabilitation Institute (UNCCRI) treadmill protocol. Methods Cancer survivors (N = 187) completed the UNCCRI treadmill protocol and a 6MWT one week apart in randomized order to obtain VO2peak. Values from the UNCCRI treadmill protocol were compared against four common 6MWT VO2peak prediction equations. Results All four 6MWT prediction equations significantly (p
