School-based predictive contributors to six-minute walk test performance across pubertal stages: an explainable machine learning study in Tunisian adolescents

Background The six-minute walk test (6MWT) provides a practical measure of submaximal functional exercise capacity in adolescents and reflects the integrated response of cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems during walking. Traditional age-based linear models inadequately capture nonlinear, maturatio...
