The influence of the speed-time relationship on testing for aerobic fitness

Creator:

Seipel, Aaron J.

Abstract:

Maximal aerobic capacity (V̇O₂max) is the most widely used measure for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness. It is a strong contributor to performance in endurance sports, predicts functional capacity in older adults, and is related to overall disease risk. As such, it is important that testing methodologies for determining V̇O₂max provide valid...

Identifying Threshold Values of Accelerometer-Determined Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity that Correspond to Self-Reported Compliance to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans : National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2006

Creator:

Brier, Julie A.

Abstract:

Current public health guidelines for physical activity (PA) were primarily formulated using evidence collected from a series of prospective cohort epidemiological investigations that measured self-reported PA. In light of this observation, and the known discordance between self-reported and objectively-monitored PA, it remains common for researchers to assess compliance to current...
