Laboratory assessments of maximal oxygen uptake (VO) are considered the "gold standard" for ascertaining cardiovascular fitness, but they are not always practical for use in team sport settings. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to compare the criterion assessment of VO on a treadmill to the progressive, multistage 20-m shuttle run test (i.e., Beep test), and to determine the predictability of 6 previously established Beep test predictive equations (i.e., Chatterjee, Flouris, Leger, Leger and Gadoury, Ramsbottom, St. Clair-Gibson). Collegiate women field hockey athletes (n = 65, mean±SD: age 19.6 ± 1.2 years; weight 64.7 ± 6.1 kg) completed criterion VO (mean ± SD: 46.4 ± 4.6 mLkgmin) and Beep tests to volitional fatigue. According to Bland-Altman and Ordinary Least Products Regressions, the Ramsbottom (46.5 ± 4.2 mLkgmin) and Flouris (46.3 ± 3.8 mLkgmin) equations were considered valid predictions of criterion measured VO (46.4 ± 4.6). The Chatterjee, Leger, Leger and Gadoury, and St. Clair-Gibson equations overestimated VO, and are not recommended for use with women collegiate field hockey athletes. The Ramsbottom and Flouris estimates of VO from 20-m shuttle performances may be used in this population. For accurate estimates of VO, the clientele's age, fitness level, and training history should be considered when selecting equations.
最大摄氧量（VO₂）的实验室评估被认为是确定心血管健康状况的“金标准”，但在团队运动环境中使用时并不总是切实可行。因此，本研究的目的是将跑步机上VO₂的标准评估与渐进式多级20米穿梭跑测试（即哔哔声测试）进行比较，并确定6个先前建立的哔哔声测试预测方程（即查特吉、弗洛里斯、勒热尔、勒热尔和加杜里、拉姆齐、圣克莱尔 - 吉布森）的可预测性。大学女子曲棍球运动员（n = 65，平均±标准差：年龄19.6±1.2岁；体重64.7±6.1千克）完成了标准VO₂（平均±标准差：46.4±4.6 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹）和哔哔声测试直至自愿疲劳。根据布兰德 - 奥特曼分析和普通最小乘积回归分析，拉姆齐方程（46.5±4.2 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹）和弗洛里斯方程（46.3±3.8 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹）被认为是对标准测量的VO₂（46.4±4.6）的有效预测。查特吉、勒热尔、勒热尔和加杜里以及圣克莱尔 - 吉布森方程高估了VO₂，不建议用于大学女子曲棍球运动员。对于该人群，可使用拉姆齐和弗洛里斯根据20米穿梭跑成绩对VO₂的估计值。为了准确估计VO₂，在选择方程时应考虑客户的年龄、健康水平和训练历史。
