A maximal multistage 20-m shuttle run test to predict VO2 max

L A Léger, J Lambert

    European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    The 20-meter shuttle run test accurately predicts maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) in adults. This reliable test is suitable for both individuals and groups across various surfaces.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Sports Science
    • Cardiorespiratory Fitness Assessment

    Background:

    • Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) is a key indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness.
    • Accurate and accessible methods for predicting VO2 max are crucial for training and health assessments.
    • Multistage shuttle run tests offer a practical field-based approach to assess aerobic capacity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To validate the maximal multistage 20-meter shuttle run test for predicting VO2 max in adults.
    • To assess the reliability and validity of the test across different surfaces and compared to other methods.

    Main Methods:

    • 91 adults performed the 20-meter shuttle run test, with VO2 max estimated using retroextrapolation.
    • The test involved starting at 8 km/h, increasing by 0.5 km/h every 2 minutes.
    • Subsamples also completed the test on different surfaces and a treadmill test for comparison.

    Main Results:

    • A strong regression equation (y = 5.857x - 19.458, r = 0.84) was established for predicting VO2 max from maximal speed.
    • The test showed high reliability (r = 0.975) and validity (r = 0.92) when compared to other maximal multistage tests.
    • No significant differences were found between test results on different floor surfaces.

    Conclusions:

    • The 20-meter shuttle run test is a valid and reliable tool for predicting VO2 max in adult males and females.
    • The test can be effectively used for individual or group assessments in various settings.
    • Its practicality and accuracy make it a valuable tool for exercise physiology and sports science.
