Comparative analysis of the 1-mile run test evaluation formulae: Assessment of aerobic capacity in male law enforcement officers aged 20-23 years
The purpose of this study was to compare values of aerobic performance
in the 1-mile run test (1-MRT) using different formulae.
Aerobic capacities of 351 male volunteers working for the Turkish
National Police within the age range of 20-23 years were evaluated by
the 1-MRT and the 20-metre shuttle run (20-MST). VO(2max)values were
estimated by the prediction equations developed by George et al. (1993),
Cureton et al. (1995) and Kline et al. (1987) for the 1-MRT and by Leger
and Lambert (1982) for the 20-MST.
The difference between the results of the different formulae was
significant (p = 0.000). The correlation coefficient between the
estimated VO2max using Cureton's equation, George's equation, Kline's
equation and the 20-MST were 0.691 (p < 0.001), 0.486 (p < 0.001) and
0.608 (p < 0.001), respectively. The highest correlation coefficient was
between the VO2max estimated by the 20-MST and Cureton's equation.
Similarly, the highest correlation coefficient (r = -0.779) was between
the 1-mile run time and the VO2max estimated by Cureton's equation.
When analysing more vigorous exercise than sub-maximal exercise, we
suggest that Cureton's equation be used to predict the VO2max from
1-mile run/walk performance in large numbers of healthy individuals with
high VO2max. This research compares the use of 3 different formulae to
estimate VO2max from 1-mile run/walk performance in male law enforcement
officers aged 20-23 years for the first time and reports the most
accurate formula to use when evaluating aerobic capacities of large
numbers of healthy individuals
