Abstract des Autors
The purpose of the present study was to determine the validity of the 20-meter multistage shuttle run (MRS) for predicting peak VO2 in Hong Kong Chinese students, ages 12-17 years. Fifty-five subjects, 27 boys and 28 girls, performed the MSR in the school environment and had peak VO2 determined in the laboratory. A correlation of 0.72 was found between peak VO2 and predicted peak VO2 using an equation previously developed with Canadian children (6). However, maximal shuttle run speed alone was a better predictor in this group. Multiple-regression analysis (best-subsets) was performed and the best predictor variables were maximal speed and sex with either triceps skinfold or weight. For practical application in the school setting, the equation peak VO2 = 24.2 - 5.0(sex) - 0.8(age) + 3.4(maximal speed), where for sex, male = 0 and female = 1, is suggested. Verf.-Referat
