Sintesi	The Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a submaximal exercise assessment measuring the total distance a person can walk in six minutes at a self-selected pace. Developed by Guyatt and colleagues in 1985, the 6MWT has become the standard submaximal functional exercise test for patients with cardiopulmonary disease, quantifying exercise tolerance and predicting outcomes in conditions ranging from chronic heart failure to pulmonary hypertension to neuromuscular disorders.	The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is a simple, quick performance assessment that measures the time required to stand from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, and return to sitting. Developed by Podsiadlo and Richardson in 1991, the TUG has become one of the most widely used tests in geriatric and rehabilitation settings for assessing mobility, balance, and fall risk in older adults and individuals with mobility limitations.
