Laboratory assessments of maximal oxygen uptake (VO_2max) are considered the “gold standard” for ascertaining cardiovascular fitness, but they are not always practical for use in team sport settings. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to compare the criterion assessment of VO_2max on a treadmill to the progressive, multistage 20-m shuttle run test (i.e., Beep test), and to determine the predictability of 6 previously established Beep test predictive equations (i.e., Chatterjee, Flouris, Leger, Leger and Gadoury, Ramsbottom, St. Clair-Gibson). Collegiate women field hockey athletes (n = 65, mean±SD: age 19.6 ± 1.2 years; weight 64.7 ± 6.1 kg) completed criterion VO_2max (mean ± SD: 46.4 ± 4.6 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) and Beep tests to volitional fatigue. According to Bland–Altman and Ordinary Least Products Regressions, the Ramsbottom (46.5 ± 4.2 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) and Flouris (46.3 ± 3.8 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) equations were considered valid predictions of criterion measured VO_2max (46.4 ± 4.6). The Chatterjee, Leger, Leger and Gadoury, and St. Clair-Gibson equations overestimated VO_2max, and are not recommended for use with women collegiate field hockey athletes. The Ramsbottom and Flouris estimates of VO_2max from 20-m shuttle performances may be used in this population. For accurate estimates of VO_2max, the clientele’s age, fitness level, and training history should be considered when selecting equations.

多阶段20米穿梭跑测试是否可以准确预测NCAA I级女子大学曲棍球运动员的最大摄氧量？

实验室评估的最大摄氧量（VO _2max）被认为是确定心血管健康状况的“金标准”，但并非总是适用于团体运动场合。因此，本研究的目的是将跑步机上最大_摄氧量（VO _2max）的标准评估与渐进式多阶段20米往复运行测试（即Beep测试）进行比较，并确定6种先前建立的Beep测试预测值的可预测性方程（例如，查特吉，弗洛里斯，莱热，莱热和加杜里，拉姆斯伯顿，圣克莱尔-吉布森）。大学女子曲棍球运动员（n = 65，平均值±SD：年龄19.6±1.2岁；体重64.7±6.1 kg）完成标准VO _2max（平均值±SD：46.4±4.6 mL · kg ^-1· min ^-1）并进行针对疲劳疲劳的蜂鸣测试。根据Bland–Altman和普通最小产品回归，Ramsbottom（46.5±4.2 mL · kg ^-1 · min ^-1）和Flouris（46.3±3.8 mL · kg ^-1 · min ^-1）方程被认为是准则的有效预测测得的VO _2max（46.4±4.6）。Chatterjee，Leger，Leger和Gadoury和St.Clair-Gibson方程高估了VO _2max，因此不建议与女大学曲棍球运动员一起使用。VO _2max的Ramsbottom和Flouris估计此人群可能会使用20米以上的班车表演。为了准确估计VO _2max，在选择方程式时应考虑客户的年龄，适应水平和训练历史。
