The document discusses using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) to calculate exercise intensity and plan an exercise program for a patient with cardiorepulmonary conditions like COPD. It provides the formula to calculate peak walking rate based on 6MWT results. It then calculates, as an example, the walking speed and distance a patient could maintain over 30 minutes based on their 6MWT performance of 340-420 meters in 6 minutes. The document concludes that the 6MWT is a useful alternative to lab-based tests for patients with COPD to safely determine exercise tolerance and intensity.
