The study aimed to evaluate the functional capacity of children with CKD by using three field tests: 6\u00a0min walk (6MWT), 2\u00a0min walk (2MWT), and 3\u00a0min step test (3MST), and investigate relationships between these tests and to determine which tests patients prefer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study evaluated 51 children with CKD (19 female, 32 male). The 6MWT, 2MWT, and 3MST were used to measure functional capacity. After performing the tests, participants reported their preferred one. Quadriceps muscle strength (QMS) and hand grip strength (HGS) were assessed using dynamometers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age of the patients was 13.7\u2009\u00b1\u20093.2\u00a0years. A total of 22 patients (43.1%) were in stage 2 CKD, 13 patients (25.5%) in stage 3, six patients (11.8%) in stage 4, two patients (3.9%) in stage 5 non-dialysis (3.9%) and eight patients (15.7%) in stage 5 on dialysis. No statistically significant differences were observed between the early and advanced CKD groups for any of the field tests (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&gt;\u20090.05).
