Does learning or encouragement influence results for the 6-minute walk test?

The 6-minute walk test is a standard way to evaluate functional exercise capacity in both adults and children. In adults, both learning (experience with doing the test in the past) and encouragement improve the results of the test. This means that both learning and encouragement need to be standardized to get optimum results. These components have not been extensively studied in children.
