The multistage 20 metre shuttle run test for aerobic fitness
TL;DR: A maximal multistage 20 m shuttle run test was designed to determine the maximal aerobic power of schoolchildren, healthy adults attending fitness class and athletes performing in sports with frequent stops and starts, indicating that the same equation could be used keeping age constant at 18.

A maximal multistage 20-m shuttle run test to predict VO2 max
Luc Léger,Jean Lambert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a maximal multistage 20-m shuttle run test for the prediction of O2 max was proposed and validated using the retroextrapolation method, and the results showed that it is a valid and reliable test for predicting the O2max of male and female adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of adipose tissue by MRI: relationship with anthropometric variables
TL;DR: The results of this study demonstrate that MRI offers a reliable measure of regional and total AT distribution in humans and, thus, is of value as a research tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secular trends in the performance of children and adolescents (1980-2000): an analysis of 55 studies of the 20m shuttle run test in 11 countries.
TL;DR: There has been a very rapid secular decline in the 20mSRT performance of children and adolescents over the last 20 years, at least in developed countries, with a sample-weighted mean decline of 0.43% of mean values per year.
An indirect continuous running multistage field test: the Université de Montréal track test.
Luc Léger,Robert Boucher +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the UM-TT is valid and reliable to estimate the VO2max of trained and untrained young and middle-age males and females.
