Validation of two running tests as estimates of maximal aerobic power in children

Abstract: In order to validate the "Maximal Multistage 20 Meter Shuttle Run Test" by Leger and Lambert (1982) (20-MST) as an estimate of maximal aerobic power (VO2max) and to compare the results of this test with the results of a 6 min endurance run, 82 subjects (41 boys and 41 girls) aged 12-14 performed the 20-MST and the 6 min endurance run, and had their VO2max directly measured during maximal treadmill running. The 20-MST is a maximal running test starting at a running speed of 8.0 km X h-1, which is increased ever… Show more

“…[20][21][22][23] Height was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm using Seca Leicester stadiometer (Cranlea, Birmingham, UK) and weight to the nearest 100 g using Seca 770 electronic scale (Cranlea, Birmingham, UK), from which BMI was calculated as weight/height 2 (kg/m 2 ). The Index of Deprivation Affecting Children 2004 was assigned to the postcode of the school as an approximate, area-based socio-economic measurement.…”

“…CRF was assessed by an adapted 20 m shuttle run test [27,28]. This validated test measures aerobic capacity and requires the participant to run back and forth over a distance of 20 m with progressively increasing speed.…”

“…The initial pace was 8.0 km/h and was increased by 0.5 km/h every minute. Each increase was indicated by a sound [27,28]. The stage numbers (∼1 min) are reported with a precision of within 0.5 stages [22].…”

“…The maximal performance was determined when the child could no longer follow the pace or the child decided 30 and valid measure of maximum oxygen consumption as measured by treadmill testing (r ¼ 0.69-0.87). 31,32 Because of the very young age of the children, some formal adaptations of the original test were made by having an adult running with the children until the end of the test to provide adequate pace. In one of our pilot studies testing these adaptations, scores were measured twice for children aged 4 to 6 years (n ¼ 20) and test-retest reliability was (r ¼ 0.84, Po0.001).…”
