The Accuracy Of The Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run To Estimate Aerobic Fitness In Youth, Stacy Nicole Scott
Masters Theses
The FITNESSGRAM’s Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) test is a commonly used field test to estimate peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in youth. However, little research has been conducted to determine the influence of weight status on the accuracy of the equations used to estimate VO2peak. Purpose: To assess the agreement between VO2peak measured using indirect calorimetry during the PACER and estimated VO2peak in normal weight and overweight youth and to determine the influence of weight status on the accuracy of estimated VO2peak in 10-15 year old youth. Methods: The study …
