Twelve-minute walking test for assessing disability in chronic bronchitis.
BMJ · 1976 · Vol. 1(6013) · pp. 822–823
Abstract
The distance covered in 12 minutes' walking was used to test exercise tolerance in chronic bronchitis. The distance covered bore a poor relation to the forced expiratory volume in 1 second but a significant relation to the forced vital capacity and the maximum oxygen consumption and ventilation on a bicycle ergometer. The test may be a simple practical guide to everyday disability in chronic bronchitis.
