INTRODUCTION: the 6-min walk test (PC6M) is a low-cost, reproducible, validated, noninvasive continuous load submaximal exercise test; the ATS in 2002 standardized the Troosters equation to calculate the predictions taking into account variables such as age, height and sex. Currently in different cities of Colombia, these predictions are not applicable.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with 100 healthy male and female patients between 18-80 years of age in a health institution in the city of Barranquilla to whom the PC6M was applied.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: in the total group the average of the best distance traveled was 499.8 ± 83.6 m (483.1 ± 61.6 m in women and 533.7 ± 109.7 m in men; p <0.05), which are not related to the values obtained in the main cities of Colombia. Walteros et al. 658.9 m in the case of men and 592.75 m in women in the city of Bogotá; Viola et al. with 602.7 m in the case of women and 672.4m in men also in Bogotá; and Rosero et al. 616 m in women and 666 m in men in Cali.
CONCLUSIONS: currently standardized equations for PC6M overestimate the meters walked by the healthy population, between the ages of 18-80 years of the Barranquilla health institution studied.
