A Means of Assessing Maximal Oxygen Intake: Correlation Between Field and Treadmill Testing
Abstract
One hundred and fifteen US Air Force male officers and airmen were evaluated on a 12-minute field performance test and on a treadmill maximal-oxygen-consumption test. The correlation of the field-test data with the laboratory-determined oxygen-consumption data was 0.897. The significance of this relationship makes it possible to estimate with considerable accuracy the maximal oxygen consumption from only the results of the 12-minute performance test. This test is readily adaptable to large groups, requires minimum equipment, and appears to be a better indicator of cardiovascular fitness than the more commonly accepted 600-yard run. Because of the high correlation with maximal oxygen consumption, it can be assumed that the 12-minute field performance test is an objective measure of physical fitness reflecting the cardiovascular status of an individual.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
