Methods The 51 healthy subjects were recruited for the six-minute walk test. Data of pulmonary gas exchange breath by breath, such as VO2, VCO2 were real-time measured with wireless remote sensing K4B2, so to study the relationship between peak oxygen uptake and the ambulation distance. Results It was noticed that there was a positive linear correlation between the ambulation distance and PVO2 (r=0.619, P<0.001) in six-minute walk test. The regression equation was set up (VO2/kg=0.05D-6.331, P<0.001). PVO2>PVCO2,R<1 were found,which suggested that 6MWT was a test below anaerobic threshold. Conclusions There was a closely positive linear correlation between the ambulation distance and PVO2, which is safety, convenient and valuable for the evaluation of cardiopulmonary function and the treatment of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.展开更多
