title: The 100 m walk: a simple and reproducible exercise test.
abstract: In a modification of conventional walking tests in respiratory disease patients were asked to walk successive 50 m lengths of a corridor and the time taken over the third 100 m was taken as the walking pace. This pace was highly correlated (r = 0.994) with the 12-minute distance and was highly reproducible (r = 0.98).
