Stickland et al reported equations for predicting maximum aerobic power during the 20-meter multi-stage shuttle run test. The authors are from the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
Exam: 20-meter multi-stage shuttle test (Leger et al)
Patient selection: young adults
Parameters:
(1) sex
(2) last half-stage of the shuttle run completed (full shuttle indicates complete level completed; half-level indicates half completed)
For a male:
VO2max in mL per kg per min =
= (2.75 * (stage)) + 28.8
For a female:
VO2max in mL per kg per min =
= (2.85 * (stage)) + 25.1
