Figure 2 Bland-Altman plot showing agreement between 6MWD measured during the final test session on straight and circular tracks. The solid line indicates the mean difference in 6MWD measured on straight and circular tracks. The dashed lines indicate the upper and lower limits of agreement (twice the SD of the difference in 6MWD measured on straight and circular tracks).

Figure 3 Bland-Altman plots showing the coefficient of repeatability for the 6MWD measured on different days on the straight track (left, a) and coefficient of repeatability for the 6MWD measured on different days on the circular track (right, b). The solid lines indicate the mean difference in 6MWD measured on the 2 days. The dashed lines indicate the upper and lower limits of the coefficient (twice the SD of the difference in 6MWD measured on the 2 days).
