This research aims to examine differences in maximum oxygen uptake and physical activity between Danish boys and girls aged 6-7 years.
Comparative analysis of Vo(2)max between boys and girls
Assessment of physical activity intensity levels
Correlation of body fat percentage with Vo(2)max
Vo(2)max is 11% higher in boys than girls when not adjusted for body mass
Vo(2)max remains 8% higher when adjusted for body mass
Boys partake in more minutes of moderate-intensity exercise compared to girls at the same Vo(2)max.
