Maximal oxygen uptake was assessed in 101 randomly selected 8 and 13 year old children. In both age groups a significantly higher aerobic capacity was found in boys than in girls, both in absolute terms and when maximal oxygen uptake was related to body weight, lean body mass and lean leg volume. Among girls, maximal oxygen uptake per kg body weight was lower in the older than in the younger (p less than 0.05). Estimation of spontaneous physical activity, by means of a questionnaire and the actometry method, indicated that physical activity was greater in children with a high than in those with a low aerobic capacity.
对101名随机挑选的8岁和13岁儿童进行了最大摄氧量评估。在两个年龄组中，无论是绝对值还是将最大摄氧量与体重、瘦体重和瘦腿部体积相关联时，男孩的有氧能力均显著高于女孩。在女孩中，每千克体重的最大摄氧量在年长儿童中低于年幼儿童（p<0.05）。通过问卷调查和活动测量法对自发身体活动进行评估，结果表明有氧能力高的儿童比有氧能力低的儿童身体活动更多。
