healthy adults aged between 20-30 years.&#13;
METHODS __ampersandsignamp; RESULTS: Six minute walk distance was performed in a 100 feet hallway by 50 males and 50 females healthy adults ranging in age from 20-30 years. Each subject underwent a thorough physical examination including weight, standing height and BMI. Any subject with underlying cardiopulmonary, neurological or musculoskeletal pathology or conditions that could interfere with the walk test was excluded. All subjects underwent 6MWT and pre and post measurements such as distance, heart rate were recorded. Males walked 45 m more than females. Height of females is significantly correlated with 6MWD. There was significant increase in heart rate and respiratory rate following six minute walk test.&#13;
CONCLUSION:__ampersandsignnbsp;__ampersandsignnbsp;Six minute walk distance covered in healthy individuals of 20-30 years is 560__ampersandsignplusmn;61 in males and 514__ampersandsignplusmn;32 in females.&#13;
