Six minute walk test is the test for aerobic endurance. It is performed on 400 metre track. On the signal 'ready go' the subject starts walking fast for 6 minute duration. After walking for 6 minutes their distance is measured. The subject sits down at his place and the heart rate is measured immediately for 15 seconds. The heart rate is determined by multiplying that number by 4. The distance covered within 6 minutes will be the score of an individual.
