ABSTRACT:
A maximal multistage 20 m shuttle run test was designed to determine the maximal aerobic power of school children, healthy adults attending fitness class and athletes performing in sports with frequent stops and starts (e.g. basketball, fencing and so on). Subjects run back and forth on a 20 m course and must touch the 20 m line; at the smae time a sound signal is emitted from a starting speed of 8.5 km per h. When the subject can no longer follow the pace, the last stage number announced is used to predict maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) from the speed corresponding to that stage and age. To obtain this regression, the test was performed individually. Right upon termination VO2 was measured with four 20 s samples and VO2 max was estimated by retroextrapolating the O2 recovery curve at time zero of recovery. For adults, similar measurements indicated that the same equation could be used keeping age constant at 18. Test-retest reliability coefficients were 0.89 for children (139 boys and grils 6-16 years old) and 0.95 for adults (81 men and woman, 20-45 years old). Normal data are also available for schoolchildren and adults and estimated VO2 max were found comparable to other tests and/or populations.
