Obesity in individual with ID is caused by their Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) which is 10-15% lower. Low endurance level is also found, and maybe caused by the lack of physical activity. Six minute walking test, one of the simplest cardiorespiratory endurance test, is difficult to performed for ID population. The limitation of intelligent in ID results in difficulties for ID population to obey the instructions to walk on an oval track. The purpose of this research was to measure the reliability of six minute walking test on 20 x 2 meter rectangular tract which is considered easy to perform by ID with obesity. Twelve subjects were involved in this study. Statistical analysis showed that Cronbach Alpha of six-minute walking test on rectangular tract is 0.93 with correlation value is 0.88. It is concluded that the six minute walk test performed on rectangular tract has good reliability.
