The Canadian Home Fitness Test as a predictor for aerobic capacity

摘要: The purpose of this study was to determine if maximum oxygen consumption (Vo(2) max) could be predicted from independent variables measured during the administration Canadian Home Fitness Test. Fifty-nine subjects between ages 15 and 74 years underwent fitness test a progressive exercise treadmill for direct determination volitional Vo(2) max. results indicated that max adequately by following regression equation: (ml/kg.min) = 42.5 + 16.6(Vo(2)) - 0.12(W) 0.12(H) 0.24(A), where is average cost last completed stage (in l/min), W body weight kg), H postexercise heart rate beats/min) A age years).
