Pooja et al worked to study the comparison of functional capacity of smokers v/s non-smokers by using a sub-maximal six minute walk test in young healthy subjects. Subjects were asked to perform the test after taking their pre-test measurements of Blood Pressure, Heart rate, Oxygen saturation, Fatigue, Dyspnoea. Then they performed a 6-minute walk test and same post test measurements were taken. The conclusion of the study was that the Non smokers possesses a better functional capacity than the Smokers, we also conclude that there is a significant difference with higher pre test and post test levels of Heart rate, Blood Pressure, Fatigue and Dyspnoea levels in the Smokers.
