Flouris et al reported an equation for estimating maximal oxygen uptake during a 20 meter multistage shuttle run test. The authors are from Brock University (Canada), University of Wolverhampton (England) and University of Thessaly (Greece).
Exercise test: 20-meter multi-stage shuttle run test
Parameters:
(1) maximum attained speed (MAS) in kilometers per hour (which usually ranges between 8.5 to 14.5)
maximum oxygen uptake in mL per kg per minute during multistage shuttle run test =
= (6.65 * (MAS)) - 35.8
The corresponding estimate determined by the treadmill test (accounting for energy cost variance between the testing methods):
maximum oxygen uptake in mL per kg per minute =
= (((6.65 * (MAS)) -35.8) * 0.95) + 0.182 =
= (6.318 * (MAS)) - 34.01 + 0.182 =
= (6.318 * (MAS)) - 33.828
