To develop a weight and age handicap model for Two-Mile Run Test (2MRT) performance for adult men and women using dimensional analysis and recent empirical data.
Models of the body composition- and physical activity-adjusted effect of age on VO2max and the allometric model of body size and 5 K run time for men and women (adjusted for the 2MRT distance) were employed.
Two tables were developed, one for each gender. Each provides a simple index (sec) of run time based on body weight and age, that are subtracted from actual 2MRT time to yield adjusted run time.
Such a handicap model, which grants a handicap based only on the independent effects of age and weight (not fatness or lack of physical conditioning, for example), is the first to be based on physiologically sound theory and empirical data. It may prove useful for military fitness testing particularly in situations where higher achievement is rewarded and/or control for age and weight differences in warranted.
运用量纲分析和近期实证数据，为成年男性和女性的两英里跑测试（2MRT）成绩建立一个体重和年龄障碍模型。
采用了年龄对最大摄氧量的身体成分和身体活动调整效应模型，以及男性和女性身体大小与5公里跑步时间的异速生长模型（针对2MRT距离进行了调整）。
编制了两个表格，每种性别各一个。每个表格都提供了一个基于体重和年龄的简单跑步时间指数（秒），用实际2MRT时间减去该指数，得出调整后的跑步时间。
这样一个障碍模型，仅基于年龄和体重的独立影响（例如，而非肥胖或缺乏体能训练）给予障碍，是首个基于生理学合理理论和实证数据的模型。它可能对军事体能测试有用，特别是在奖励更高成绩和/或有必要控制年龄和体重差异的情况下。
