Answer 2

provide a reasonalby reliable, valid, and accurate

Question 3

12-min run for distance test: what is the relationship between distance and VO2 max

Answer 3

postive

the longer you run in 12 minutes, the higher your estimated VO2 max is

Question 4

Answer 4

negative

the longer it takes you to run 1.5 miles, the lower your VO2 max is (and vise versa)

Question 5

which test is more motivating: 12 min run for distance or 1.5 mile run for time

Answer 5

1.5 mile run for time

Question 6

advantages of maximal vo2 testing

Answer 6

1) high coorilation to accurate VO2 max measured in lab
2) low cost

Question 7

disadvantages of maximal vo2 testing

Answer 7

1) risk is higher than submaximal testing
2) subjects must be highly motivated
3) pacing is a factor (exept shuttle test)
