“…Sub-analysis of the validity of the 9-minute test by gender revealed differences, with higher validity in male subjects (r=0.59) as compared to female subjects (r=0.43); in males, the test explained 35% of results, versus 18% of results in female subjects. This is consistent with the results reported in previous studies of other field tests for estimation of CRF, which showed superior validity in male subjects [21][22][23] . Careful interpretation of this analysis of the validity of the 9-minute test is warranted, as analysis based solely on the 9-minute distance does not permit comparison between VO 2 peak values and absolute VO 2 values measured during the test itself.…”

-The aim of this study was to analyze estimation of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in adolescents aged 10 to 12 years by means of the 9-minute run/walk test. A total of 115 adolescents (61 boys and 54 girls) took part in the study. Mean age was 12.2±0.9 and 12.1±0.7 years, body mass 47.5±13.6 and 45.0±13.2 kg, height 150.9±7.7and 150.4±7.3 cm, and VO 2 peak 49.9±9.5 and 42.2±7.4 mL/kg/min in boys and girls respectively. The subjects performed a maximal treadmill test and a 9-minute run/walk field test (9-minute test). The relationship between VO 2 and the 9-minute test was analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficient. The difference between the proportions of adolescents who met health criteria and agreement between the CRF cutoff points proposed in the Physical Best and Fitnessgram batteries was analyzed with McNemar's test and the Kappa statistic respectively. The significance level was set at 5%. There was moderate correlation (r=0.64) between the 9-minute test and directly measured VO 2 peak in the sample as a whole. Gender-stratified analysis showed higher correlation in boys (r=0.59) than in girls (r=0.43). There were significant differences between the tested cutoff points (P<0.001) and weak agreement (Kappa = 0.19) in relation to CRF. These findings suggest that the 9-minute test appears to be a valid indicator of CRF in adolescents between the ages of 10 and 12. However, care should be taken when choosing cutoff points for classification of cardiorespiratory fitness.

“…Several authors (Leger et al 1988;Matsuzaka et al 2004;McVeigh et al 1995) suggest the best estimations of peak VO 2 are from those equations that include BMI or skinfold thickness, age and gender (Barnett et al 1993;Fernhall et al 1998;Matsuzaka et al 2004) rather than those that included age only (Leger et al 1988). It has been suggested that, in addition to chronological age, biological maturation inXuences the relationship between peak VO 2 and 20-m MSRT performance (Leger et al 1988).…”

“…However, Barnett et al (1993) studying 55 Hong Kong Chinese students (27 boys and 28 girls, ages 12-17 years) found that an inclusion of gender in the regression equations used to predict peak VO 2 determined in laboratory improved the accuracy of prediction. Boreham et al (1990) indicated a higher correlation between the 20-m MSRT and peak VO 2 in a group of 24 schoolgirls (15.4 years) than in a group of 24 schoolboys (15.6 years) (r = 0.90 vs. r = 0.64, respectively), and McVeigh et al (1995) found that the plot of peak VO 2 measured in laboratory against the 20-m MSRT performance showed distinct gender groups and divergent regression lines for boys and girls (15 boys, 18 girls). Barnett et al (1993) and Leger et al (1988) also identiWed age as a critical variable.…”

“…Some suggest including skinfold measurements in the estimation of peak VO 2 from the 20-m MSRT to improve the predictive power of the test (Barnett et al 1993;McVeigh et al 1995). Others suggest gender and age aVect the predictive power of the 20-m MSRT.…”

“…In addition, children are known for their frequent stops, starts, and turns in their daily physical activity, therefore, it may be a more speciWc test than a continuous directional run (Liu et al 1992). The 20-m MSRT provides a valid estimation of peak VO 2 for children and youth (Barnett et al 1993;Boreham et al 1990;Falgairette et al 1994;Fernhall et al 1998;Leger et al 1988;Liu et al 1992;Mahoney 1992;McVeigh et al 1995;Pitetti et al 2002;van Mechelen et al 1986). …”

This study compared the validity of reported equations as predictors of peak VO(2) in 8-10-year-old children. Participants (90 boys and girls aged 8-10 years) performed the multistage-shuttle-run-test (MSRT) and peak VO(2) was measured in field using a portable gas analyser. The equations that estimated peak VO(2) from the MSRT performance were chosen according to the age range of this study. As follows, the FITNESSGRAM reports and the equations of Leger et al. (Can J Appl Sport Sci 5: 77-84, 1988), Barnett et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 5:42-50, 1993), Matsuzaka et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 16:113-125, 2004) and Fernhall et al. (Am J Ment Retard 102:602-612, 1998) were used to estimate the peak VO(2) and compared with the directly measured value. The equation of Leger et al. (Can J Appl Sport Sci 5: 77-84, 1988) provided a mean difference (d) of 4.7 ml kg(-1) min(-1) and a 1.0 slope. The equation of Matsuzaka et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 16:113-125, 2004)(a) using maximal speed (MS) showed a higher d (5.4) than the remaining using total laps d (4.2). The equation of Barnett et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 5:42-50, 1993)(a) that includes triceps skinfold and MS showed the highest d (6.1) but the smallest range (24.1) and slope (0.6). Data from the FITNESSGRAM had the smallest d (1.8 ml kg(-1) min(-1)), but also had the highest range between limits of agreement (28.6 ml kg(-1) min(-1)) and a 1.2 slope. The lowest slope (0.4) and range (22.2 ml kg(-1) min(-1)) were observed using the equation of Fernhall et al. (Am J Ment Retard 102:602-612, 1998). Log transformation of the data revealed that the equations of Matsuzaka et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 16:113-125, 2004)(a) (1.1*/÷1.25) and Fernhall et al. (Am J Ment Retard 102:602-612, 1998) (1.17*/÷1.25) showed the closest agreement among all, but they still yield unsatisfactory accuracy.

Shuttle tests are simple, inexpensive field tests that have been used to estimate the cardiorespiratory status of children. It has yet to be validated in children with CF. The aim of this study was to assess the reproducibility and criterion validity of shuttle tests in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Ninety-three CF patients aged 6 to 16 years of age with a wide range of disease severity performed the study. The 10-m shuttle test was used for children 7 years of age and younger and those deemed too chronically ill by their physicians to perform the longer test (n = 35.) All other children performed the 20-m shuttle test (n = 58). Reproducibility and criterion validity were assessed for each child over a two week period. Gas analysis was performed throughout testing using a polargraphic gas analyzer. The 10-m shuttle tests were reproducible (mean difference between tests VO(2) 2.41 mL/kg/min, CI 3.46,-0.18) and the difference from treadmill testing was not statistically significant (mean difference VO(2) 5.30 mL/kg/min, CI-7.46, 1.18). The 20-m shuttle tests were reproducible (mean difference between tests VO(2) 2.07 mL/kg/min, CI-3.90,0.60) and the difference from treadmill testing was not statistically significant (mean difference VO(2) 3.50 mL/kg/min, CI-4.90, 1.60). We conclude that when formal exercise testing with treadmill or cycle ergometer cannot be performed, the shuttle tests provide a reproducible and valid alternative.
