Abstract

The present study aimed to find out the correlation between six minute walk distance test (MWDT) and physical activity score and their relation with demographic variables. The objectives of the present study were a) to determine the correlation between physical activity score and Six Minute Walk Test Distance of healthy adults; b) to find out correlation between physical activity score and demographic variables of healthy adults and c) to find out the correlation between Six Minute Walk Test Distance and demographic variables of healthy adults. The study design was correlational design which was conducted on 41 male and 14 female participants (total 55 subjects) with age group 20- 45 years. The main variables of the present study were I.A.P.Q. Questionnaire (Long form) and 6 Minute Walk Distance. Demographic data and all study variables were analyzed using Independent sample t-test and Pearson correlation test (SPSS version 2.0). The significance level set for this study was 95% (p<0.05). It was found that there is no correlation between 6MWDT and Physical Activity Score (r = -0.245, p=0.071) at the significant level of 0.05. But the results of the present study were significantly correlated with age and sex differences of the subjects.
