TL;DR: It is concluded that for soccer players, maximal oxygen uptake should be expressed in relation to body mass raised to the power of 0.75 and maximal strength in relationTo evaluate maximal aerobic capacity when running and strength capacity among players with different body mass.
Abstract: Purpose:The major purpose of the present study was to examine whether there exists a relationship between preseasonal physiological tests and performance results in the soccer league. Further, it investigated maximal oxygen uptake and maximal strength in proportion to body mass for soccer pl

TL;DR: The present study showed the ski ergometer to be both reliable and valid for evaluating VO2 and force development in the upper body at submaximal and maximal workloads for cross-country skiers.
Abstract: Evaluation of a new upper body ergometer for cross-country skiers. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 30, No 8, pp. 1314-1320, 1998. A new specific ski ergometer has been developed to study aerobic endurance and force development in the upper body of cross-country skiers. The major purpose of the

TL;DR: Testing only the traditional Th(an) andVO2max while running on a treadmill hides important determinants of endurance in cross-country skiing as shown by that no correlation was found between VO2max and VO2peak in the present study.
Abstract: Methods for evaluating peak oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold in upper body of cross-country skiers. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 30, No. 6, pp. 963-970, 1998.Purpose:The aim of the present study was to develop a standard protocol for evaluating peak oxygen uptake and anaerobic thres
