Prediction of maximal oxygen uptake in boys 11–13 years of age

  • Published:
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Ninety-six boys aged 11–13 years were tested at submaximal and maximal loads on a bicycle ergometer. Submaximal and maximal heart rates and maximal oxygen uptake were measured. A function predicting \(\dot V\operatorname{O} _{2\max } \) from age, height, and steady state heart rate at submaximal work load was developed using multiple regression analysis.
