A short walk! A feasible fitness test for general practice

[摘要] We read with interest the study by Little et al1 comparing three approaches to increase physical activity in at-risk patients. We agree that further research is needed to clarify the role of fitness assessment in exercise promotion in general practice. It was noted that the 6-minute walk test2 was the more reliable measure used, but there were some practical difficulties with its use in general practice.
