The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the 20 meter multi-stage shuttle run test (MST) in predicting VO2max compared to the directly measured reading from the laboratory. 4 male participants, who were diverse in terms of their ages and who were active physically, performed the MST and an incremental treadmill tests. Predicted VO2max values were obtained for the MST based on their stages and shuttles and actual VO2max values were obtained from the laboratory treadmill test. Results showed that all predicted VO2max values for the MST over-predicted that of the actual VO2max values from the laboratory test. This study seems to suggest that there is no validity in the MST in predicting VO2max of an individual as compared to the actual VO2max values from the laboratory.

The purpose of this study was to test the accuracy of the 20-m multi-stage shuttle run (SR) test to predict [Formula: see text] in young adults. [Formula: see text] was measured during a graded treadmill test in 60 men and 62 women (mean age 25.3 and 25.1 years, respectively). Each subject was familiarized with the SR procedure and then completed the SR test to predict [Formula: see text] on a separate day. The mean terminal SR stage was 9.5 for men and 7.8 for women. The regression equations of Léger et al. (1988) and Léger and Gadoury (1989) systematically underpredicted [Formula: see text]max for both males and females (p < 0.05). New regression equations were developed from present data to predict [Formula: see text] for males: Ŷ = 2.75X + 28.8 (r2 = 0.77, SEE = 4.07 ml•kg−1•min−1); and for females: Ŷ = 2.85X + 25.1 (r2 = 0.66, SEE = 3.64 ml•kg−1•min−1), where X equals the last half-stage of the SR completed. We suggest that these gender-distinct equations provide more accurate predictions of [Formula: see text] from the SR. Key words: aerobic fitness, maximal oxygen consumption, field test, test validity

The overarching purpose of this review was to highlight the utility of different aerobic field tests in terms of the parameters they provide, with a specific focus on shuttle running and all-out testing. Various field tests are discussed in detail and are categorised according to linear continuous running tests (e.g. 12-minute Cooper Test, University of Montreal Track Test [UMTT], 1200/1600 m time trials, 3-minute all-out test for running [3MT]), intermittent shuttle running tests (e.g. yo-yo inter-mittent recovery test level 1 [YYIR1], 30-15 intermittent fitness test [IFT], and the intermittent all-out shuttle test [IAOST]), and continuous shuttle running tests (e.g. 1.2 km shuttle run test [1.2SRT], maximal multi-stage 20-m shuttle test [MSR], 25-m, 30 m and 50-m 3-minute all-out shuttle test [AOST]). Readers will be guided through the theoretical and practical underpinnings of the 3MT methodology, where the all-out testing methodology is stationed within the testing paradigm, and how to practically implement and interpret the results thereof.

The article presents the current performance capacity in 11–15 year old Dutch adolescents who participated in an incremental cycle test (n = 509) and or in a shuttle run test (N = 1,198). Cycle test results increased significantly with age in both genders, also after normalization to body weight. Shuttle run test results increased significantly with age only in boys. Compared with previous data, the absolute performance capacity in the cycle tests was comparable to data from 15 years ago, whereas the performance capacity normalized to kg body weight and the shuttle run test results seem to be fairly lower compared with the former data.

Objective. To investigate changes in the physical fitness characteristics of  elite women’s rugby union players over a competitive season.Methods. Thirty-two elite women’s rugby union players, all members of the South African Rugby Union High Performance Squad, were sub-divided into 2 positional categories of 17 forwards and 15 backs, respectively, and assessed pre-, mid- and post-competition season. Players underwent anthropometric (stature, body mass and sum of 7 skinfolds) and physical performance measurements (vertical jump, 10 m and 40 m sprint, 1  repetition maximum (1RM) bench press and multi-stage shuttle-run test).Analysis. A 2-factor analysis of variance was used to evaluate differences  in physical fitness variables between and within playing positions over the competition season (p<0.01).Results. In both groups, no significant changes were detected in the sum of skinfolds, vertical jump height, 1RM bench press and multi-stage shuttle-run test scores throughout the season. However, sprint times (10 m and 40 m) significantly increased and then decreased for both groups between the early (pre- to mid-season) and later phases of the season (mid- to post-season), respectively.Conclusion. The results suggest that, for improvement in physical fitness, players need to train at higher loads, especially in the preparatory phase. Thereafter, they must take measures to actively maintain these gains  throughout the competitive season. Direct supervision of their conditioning should be encouraged.

Research background and hypothesis. During the last five years Lithuanian long-term research related to the peculiarities of changes  in  physical fitness among 10-12 th -grade  schoolgirls has  not  been  found.  Other research in Lithuania showed negative tendencies of physical fitness changes of Lithuanian schoolchildren and prevailing sedentary lifestyle.Research aim was to determine peculiarities of change results in physical fitness among Kaunas schoolgirls (10–12 th  grades).Research methods. The present research included 10 th -grade schoolgirls (n = 244) of Kaunas city who were at school during the research and were able to perform the necessary Eurofit tests: 10  × 5 m Shuttle run, Standing Broad Jump, Sit ups in 30 seconds, 20 m endurance Shuttle run.Research  results.  Changes in results of Eurofit tests performed from 10 th  grade autumn to 12 th  grade spring were different. Results of girls (10–12 th -grade) in 10 × 5 m shuttle run test did not change (p > 0.05). Results of standing broad jump improved significantly in Grade 11 (p  < 0.05). Results in 20 m endurance shuttle run test improved in Grade 12 (p < 0.05). Results in Sit ups in 30 seconds test improved in spring. Significant differences were found between 10 and 12 th -grade schoolgirls spring Sit ups in 30 seconds test results, and 10 and 11 th -grade autumn results.Discussion and conclusions. Comparison of physical fitness of 10 and 12 th -grade girls showed that it improved only in 20 m endurance shuttle run, in the 11 th  grade explosive strength of schoolgirls significantly improved.Keywords: changes in physical fitness, Eurofit tests, physical characteristics.
