Supports running over walking for VO2max testing in boys aged 10-12; leaves open protocol standardization and broader validation.
Do running treadmill protocols improve the determination of maximal oxygen consumption compared to walking protocols in 10- to 12-year-old boys?
Running treadmill protocols are more effective than walking protocols for eliciting true maximal oxygen consumption in 10- to 12-year-old boys.
Sheehan et al. (1987) studied this question.
