Summary

The objective of this project is to clarify and improve the efficiency of the standardized walk-test in Cardiovascular Rehabilitation. The psycho-metric properties of the 400m walk test at a self-selected speed will be evaluated. Such tests, made at a self-selected ("comfortable", "free") speed particularly assess the endurance capacities. The results of the physiological measurements during the tests will be compared with those of TM6min of Test of Fast Walking of 200m (TMR200m) and a maximal treadmill exercise. Stable coronary patients, aged over 55 years old, will be included. This study should permit a simplification and a better understanding of the clinical-use of walk tests. In the future, two kinds of tests might be proposed with different distances, 1- 200m-fast-walking-test aimed to evaluate the performance closed to the maximum capacity, 2- self-selected-walk-test on a doubled distance (400m) aimed to evaluate the aerobic capacities of the adaptation of the body in response to effort.

Conditions

• Chronic Coronary

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Walk-tests	Patients will make a 6-minute-walk-test, the 400m-walk-test and a 200m-fast walk test. These first 2 tests (TM6min and TML400m) will be made in an order determined by randomization. This series of test will be repeated 72 hours later for the study reproducibility. It will be followed by a phase of rest of 15 min and a test of effort on travelator, according to the protocol of " modified Bruce " in moderation of portable VO2.
