| Abstract | The aim of this study was to develop accurate, reliable, and reproductive equations for the prediction of maximum oxygen uptake (V˙O2max) in male and female high-level adolescent rowers. This study included two parts. In the first part, V̇O2max was evaluated in 106 male and 83 female high-level adolescent rowers during an incremental step test (IRT) on a rowing ergometer, and stepwise multiple regression analyses were used for the development of new equations. In the second part, these equations were tested in 26 new high-level adolescent rowers of the same age and anthropometrical characteristics (boys: 15.27 ± 2.70 yrs and 15.34 ± 2.80 yrs; 72.37 ± 10.96 kg and 70.96 ± 10.65 kg; girls: 15.00 ± 2.11 yrs and 15.94 ± 2.71 yrs; 62.50 ± 7.14 kg and 63.41 ± 6.72 kg for parts 1 and 2, respectively; p > 0.05). V̇O2max was predicted from the combination of lean body mass (LBM) and the distance covered during the last 4 min stage of the IRT (boys: r2 = 0.715, F = 68.74, p = 0.001; girls: r2 = 0.769, F = 57.81, p = 0.001). In the second part, no significant differences were identified when the new equations were tested against measured V̇O2max (boys: 3971.15 ± 713.38 mL·min−1 vs. 3915.83 ± 704.43 mL·min−1; girls: 3272.75 ± 551.46 mL·min−1 vs. 3308.94 ± 557.59 mL·min−1 for measured and predicted values, respectively; p > 0.05). In conclusion, V̇O2max of high-level adolescent rowers can be predicted with high accuracy, reliability, and repeatability using simple and easily evaluated anthropometric and performance variables. |
