Objective: To investigate the repeatability and criterion related validity of the 20 m multistage fitness test (MFT) for predicting maximal oxygen uptake (Vo2max) in active young men.
Methods: Data were gathered from two phases using 30 subjects (x±s; age = 21.8±3.6 years, mass = 76.9±10.7 kg, stature = 1.76±0.05 m). MFT repeatability was investigated in phase 1 where 21 subjects performed the test twice. The MFT criterion validity to predict Vo2max was investigated in phase 2 where 30 subjects performed a continuous incremental laboratory test to volitional exhaustion to determine Vo2max and the MFT.
Results: Phase 1 showed non-significant bias between the two applications of the MFT (
diff±sdiff = –0.4±1.4 ml kg–1 min–1; t = –1.37, p = 0.190) with 95% limits of agreement (LoA) ±2.7 ml
