Before the test starts, the tester measures the participant’s pulse, blood pressure, oxygen level, and breathlessness.
The participant receives the instructions to walk back and forth at their own pace to a designated spot for 6 minutes.
The participant may slow down or take a break as necessary while standing.
The tester instructs the participant to say if they experience trouble breathing or chest pain.
Both the tester and participant should keep note of the number of lengths that the participant completes, as the tester will use this to calculate their score.

After the 6MWT, the tester will again measure the participant’s pulse, blood pressure, oxygen level, and breathlessness.
