Background The assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness is important because it allows the identification of subgroups with poor health status and the targeting of effective intervention strategies to improve health. Objective To compare the cardiorespiratory capacity of children and adolescents living in a moderate altitude region of Peru with international studies and to develop reference values for the 6-min walk test (6MWT) according to age and sex. Methodology A descriptive cross-sectional study of schoolchildren from a region of moderate altitude in Peru was carried out. A total of 704 schoolchildren (400 males and 304 females) with an age range of 6 to 17 years were studied. Weight, standing height, waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) and tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) were evaluated. The 6MWT was assessed in a straight line over a distance of 30 m. Percentiles were created through the LMS method [L (skewness: lambda), M (median: mu) and S (coefficient of variation: Mu)]. Results There were discrepancies in cardiorespiratory fitness performance with international studies by age and sex. The schoolchildren in the study reached stability and the highest number of meters in the last two age ranges (14 to 15 years: 698.1 m and 16 to 17 years 686.3 m in males). While females (14 to 15 years: 698.1 m and 16 to 17 years: 686.3 m). The proposed percentile values show ascending values as age advances. The cut-off points adopted are: low cardiorespiratory fitness < p25, moderate p25 to p75 and high cardiorespiratory fitness p > 75. Conclusion We verified that the cardiorespiratory fitness evaluated by means of the 6MWT is ascending with the course of age. Even the performance with other countries is heterogeneous at early and middle ages, stabilizing during adolescence. The proposed reference values can be used to evaluate and monitor cardiorespiratory fitness during physical education classes.

Introducción: El atletismo es un deporte olímpico que implica superar el rendimiento atlético de los adversarios, cuya realización agrupa un conjunto de disciplinas que conllevan la utilización de diversas destrezas generadas desde la iniciación hasta especialización deportiva. Objetivo: Desarrollar una escala cualitativa para la valoración del rendimiento atlético en 1500 metros planos en atletas chilenos de entre 35 a 44 años. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, cuya muestra considero 258 atletas máster del género masculino y 186 del género femenino que participaron en la prueba de 1500 metros planos durante el periodo 2014 a 2022, siendo estos datos obtenidos a partir del registro de la Federación de Atletismo Máster de Chile. El rendimiento atlético fue determinado a través del tiempo utilizado para completar la prueba, mientras que la escala cualitativa se construyó con los percentiles <10, ≥10, ≥ 25, ≥ 50, ≥75 correspondiendo estos a los criterios excelente, muy bueno, bueno, regular y pobre. Resultados: En la prueba de carrera de 1500 metros. La media fue de 5:04:02 y 6:22:62 para el género masculino y femenino, respectivamente. En general, el error estándar de la media = 0:02:67, reportándose diferencias significativas p<0,01 y un tamaño de efecto grande 1,85. Conclusión: La creación de la escala cualitativa para la prueba de 1500 metros planos permite evaluar y clasificar el nivel deportivo en atletas de entre 35 a 44 años. Palabras clave: Carrera; Atletismo; Rendimiento Atlético; Adulto. Abstract. Introduction: Athletics is an Olympic sport that involves surpassing the athletic performance of opponents, whose performance brings together a set of disciplines that involve the use of various skills generated from initiation to sports specialization. Objective: Develop a qualitative scale for the evaluation of athletic performance in the 1500-meter in Chilean athletes between 35 and 44 years. Material and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study, whose sample considers 258 male and 186 female máster athletes who participated in the 1500-meter dash test during the period 2014 to 2022, these data being obtained from the registry of the Federation of Máster Athletics of Chile. Athletic performance was determined through the time used to complete the test, while the qualitative scale was constructed with the percentiles <10, ≥10, ≥25, ≥50, ≥75, corresponding to the criteria excellent, very good, good, average and poor. Results: In the 1500-meter test. The average was 5:04:02 and 6:22:62 for males and females, respectively. In general, the standard error of the mean = 0:02:67, reporting significant differences p<0.01 and a large effect size of 1.85. Conclusion: The creation of the qualitative scale for the 1500-meter test allows evaluating and classifying the sporting level in athletes between 35 and 44 years. Keywords: Running; Track and field; Athletic Performance; Adult.
