The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between distance achieved and compare the average speed while walking in the six-minute walk test (6MWT) performed on solid ground and in the three-minute walk test in water (3MWT-W) with healthy young individuals, as well as compare physiological (heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure) and symptomatic variables between tests. It is a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 20 healthy young subjects. All patients underwent spirometry, answered a questionnaire on health and physical activity, in addition to performing the 6MWT and 3MWT-W. Statistical analysis used the Shapiro-Wilk test to evaluate normality of the data, the paired Student's t-test and Wilcoxon in the comparisons between the variables and the Pearson correlation coefficient to verify associations. Statistical significance of p < 0.05 was adopted. The mean age was 22 (±2) years, the mean BMI was 23 (±3) kg/m2 and all subjects had normal pulmonary function. The average distance achieved in the 6MWT was of 657 (±43) meters and in the 3MWT-W of 135 (±13) meters. A weak correlation between the 3MWT-W and 6MWT (r=0.35) was found. The speed during the tests showed a statistically significant difference (3MWT-W 0.75±0.07 versus 6MWT 1.85±9.1, p
