All studies performed the 6-min step test in 6\u2005min; however, some studies varied the step height and the use of upper limb support. The test appears to be safe and well tolerated by individuals. Moderate- to high-quality evidence demonstrated appropriate results for test-retest reliability (4 studies; Intraclass correlation coefficient 0.96; 95% CI 0.91\u20130.98; n\u2009=\u2009125), criterion validity (4 studies; r\u2009=\u20090.53; 95% CI 0.30\u20130.71; n\u2009=\u2009307), and construct validity (4 studies; r\u2009=\u20090.63; 95% CI 0.52\u20130.73; n\u2009=\u2009233).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review provides recommendations for applying the 6-min step test in clinical and research settings.
