Add your age and sex

Some assessments compare your result with people of the same age and sex, so they can only give a rating once they know both. Sneaky will not guess. What you enter here stays on this device.

Move the slider towards the end that applies to you. The middle means “not stated”, and an assessment that compares by sex will then not give a rating.

Walk test

Good to know

6-minute walk or 1-mile walk?

The 6-minute walk measures how far you get in six minutes. The 1-mile (1.6 km) walk measures how long a mile takes. Choose the one that suits your route and use it again next time, so your report can compare your results directly.

Can I run it?

No. Both are walking tests. Walk as quickly as you safely can, without running.

Where should I do it?

On a flat route you have measured, such as a running track (a lap is usually 400 m) or a marked path, in comfortable shoes. Hills, wind and stops at crossings change the result, so use the same route each time.

When should I stop?

Straight away if you feel chest pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness. Walk at a pace you can keep safely, and cool down with a few minutes of easy walking afterwards.

Is this medical advice?

No. A check measures one thing at one moment and gives general information, not a diagnosis. If a result worries you, or you have symptoms, an injury or a health condition, talk to a doctor or another qualified professional.
