The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of the 1-mile walk (Rockport Walk Test) as a predictor of VO(2max) and determine whether the 1-mile walk is a reliable alternative to the 1.5-mile run in moderately fit to highly fit U.S. Air Force males. Twenty-four (33.0 +/- 1.5 years) males completed a maximal treadmill VO(2max) (50.3 +/- 1.4 mL/ kg/min), 1-mile walk, and 1.5-mile run. For the 1-mile walk, there were no significant differences between measured and predicted VO(2max) (p = 0.177, r = 0.817). There were no significant differences (p = 0.573) between points scored in the Air Force Fitness Test for the 1-mile walk and 1.5-mile run tests. In conclusion, the 1-mile walk test is a valid predictor of VO(2max) and can be used as an alternative fitness test to the 1.5-mile run in assessing cardiovascular fitness in Air Force males.
本研究的目的是评估1英里步行（罗克波特步行测试）作为预测最大摄氧量（VO₂max）的有效性，并确定在中度至高度健康的美国空军男性中，1英里步行是否是1.5英里跑步的可靠替代测试。24名（33.0±1.5岁）男性完成了最大跑步机测试的最大摄氧量（50.3±1.4毫升/千克/分钟）、1英里步行和1.5英里跑步。对于1英里步行，实测和预测的最大摄氧量之间无显著差异（p = 0.177，r = 0.817）。在空军体能测试中，1英里步行和1.5英里跑步测试的得分之间无显著差异（p = 0.573）。总之，1英里步行测试是最大摄氧量的有效预测指标，在评估空军男性心血管适能时可作为1.5英里跑步的替代体能测试。
