Equations of Aadland et al for Predicting Peak Oxygen Consumption for a Pediatric Patient Completing the Andersen Aerobic Fitness Test

Test: Andersen aerobic fitness test (10 minutes long, intermittent running of a 20 meter course)

Subjects: pediatric patients from 10 to 16 years of age

Parameters:

(1) Andersen distance in meters

(2) body mass index in kg per square meter

(3) age in years

(4) sex

peak VO2 in mL per kg per min for a male =

= (0.0397 * (Andersen distance)) - (0.1698 * (BMI)) + 27.1689

= (0.0427 * (Andersen distance)) - (0.8553 * (age)) + 26.4523

peak VO2 in mL per kg per min for a female =

= (0.0309 * (Andersen distance)) - (0.2351 * (BMI)) + 32.5793

= (0.0363* (Andersen distance)) - (1.073 * (age)) + 29.8705
