Abstract des Autors

Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) was related to a diverse and comprehensive set of field, technical, and laboratory measures of physical fitness for a representative sample of 277 boys and girl aged 9, 12, and 15 who participated in the Australian Health and Fitness Survey (Pyke, 1987). VO2max was most strongly related to other indicators of cardiovascular endurance (1.6 km run and PWC170), but was also significantly related to skinfold, dynamic strength, explosive strength, and body girth and to self-ratings of health and physical fitness. After controlling for the effects of age and gender, VO2 max was not significantly related to static strength, flexibility/mobility, blood pressure, and lung function measures. Although there were systematic effects of age and gender in most of the measures of physical fitness, relations between VO2max and the other fitness indicators were consistent across the six age/gender groups. Cardiovascular endurance and VO2max, along with many other components of physical fitness, contributed significantly to self-ratings of physical fitness, thus supporting a multidimensional perspective of physical fitness.
