Predictors of VO2Peak in Children Age 6- to 7-Years-Old

Abstract: This study investigated the predictors of aerobic fitness (VO2PEAK) in young children on a population-base. Participants were 436 children (229 boys and 207 girls) aged 6.7 ± 0.4 yrs. VO2PEAK was measured during a maximal treadmill exercise test. Physical activity was assessed by accelerometers. Total body fat and total fat free mass were estimated from skinfold measurements. Regression analyses indicated that significant predictors for VO2PEAK per kilogram body mass were total body fat, maximal heart rate, se… Show more

“…Although there are studies which also show that boys achieve greater distances on CPX 52,53 and higher VO 2 values as a result of improved cardiorespiratory efficiency and a greater muscle-to-weight ratio, 53-55 final conclusions have not reached a consensus about these differences, 38,[52][53][54] because it has also been reported that girls have approximately the same peak VO 2 per kg of lean body mass as boys do; 27,32,56 therefore, peak VO 2 was not correlated to BMI itself. 27,32 Our findings support this last conclusion.…”

“…24 All trials mentioned the criteria used to evaluate the maximal testing level. Sixteen trials [21][22][23][24][25][38][39] chose more than one of the following methods for maximal CPX consideration: (i): exhaustion in 17 trials (85%); (ii) very…”

“…In another study, the BMI average values of 5-year-old children and 6-7 year-old children were measured as 14.08 and 15.07, respectively (Fry, Irwin, Nicoll, & Ferebee, 2015). In an another study, the boys with an average age of 6.8 were found to have a BMI of 15.9 ± 1.7 and the girls with a mean age of 6.7 were found to have a BMI of 16.0 ± 1.6 (Dencker et al, 2011). The BMI measurements of 9-year-old children were calculated to be 17.8 for males and 17.6 for females (Ramirez-Velez et al, 2017).…”

“…In a study, it was measured that boys with an average age of 6.8 had a height of 124 ± 5 and girls with an average age of 6.7 had a height of 122 cm ± 5. In the same study, body weight of the boys was measured as 24.5 kg ± 3.7 while body weight of the girls was measured as 23.8 ± 3.4 (Dencker, Hermansen, Bugge, Froberg, & Andersen, 2011). Another study was conducted on 9-year-old children.…”
