Key result
Self-reported daily vigorous activity (>6 MET) was significantly positively associated with objectively measured VO2max (R=0.76, P=0.0001).
Why the study?
Does a self-reported physical activity questionnaire accurately reflect objectively measured VO2max in adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=102)
Does a self-reported physical activity questionnaire accurately reflect objectively measured VO2max in adults?
Effect estimate: R=0.76
p-value: p=0.0001
A self-reported physical activity questionnaire and a simple question on self-rated fitness are valid tools that correlate well with objectively measured VO2max in adults.

Supports self-report vigorous activity questionnaires for fitness research; leaves open clinical substitution for objective VO2max testing.
Aadahl et al. (2007) reported a cross-sectional. Self-reported physical activity questionnaire vs. Objectively measured maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was evaluated on Association between daily vigorous activity (>6 MET) and VO2max (R=0.76, p=0.0001). Self-reported daily vigorous activity (>6 MET) was significantly positively associated with objectively measured VO2max (R=0.76, P=0.0001).
