The purpose of the present study was to examine the validity of using a 20 m progressive shuttle run test to estimate maximal oxygen uptake. Running ability was described as the final level attained on the shuttle run test and as time on a 5 km run. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) was determined directly for seventy-four volunteers (36 men, 38 women) who also completed the shuttle run test. Maximal oxygen uptake values were 58.5 +/- 7.0 and 47.4 +/- 6.1 ml.kg-1.min-1 for the men and women respectively (mean +/- SD, P less than 0.01). The levels attained on the shuttle run test were 12.6 +/- 1.5 (men) and 9.6 +/- 1.8 (women; P less than 0.01). The correlation between VO2 max and shuttle level was 0.92. The correlation between VO2 max and the 5 km run was -0.94 and the correlation between both field tests was -0.96. The results of this study suggest that a progressive shuttle run test provides a valid estimate of VO2 max and indicates 5 km running potential in active men and women.
本研究的目的是检验使用20米递增往返跑测试来估计最大摄氧量的有效性。跑步能力通过往返跑测试达到的最终水平以及5公里跑的用时来描述。对74名志愿者（36名男性，38名女性）直接测定了最大摄氧量，这些志愿者还完成了往返跑测试。男性和女性的最大摄氧量值分别为58.5±7.0和47.4±6.1毫升·千克⁻¹·分钟⁻¹（平均值±标准差，P<0.01）。往返跑测试达到的水平男性为12.6±1.5，女性为9.6±1.8（P<0.01）。最大摄氧量与往返跑水平之间的相关性为0.92。最大摄氧量与5公里跑之间的相关性为-0.94，两项实地测试之间的相关性为-0.96。本研究结果表明，递增往返跑测试能有效估计最大摄氧量，并能显示出活跃男性和女性的5公里跑潜力。
