Purpose: The aim of this study was to propose field-based tests to estimate the anaerobic power of wheelchair basketball athletes. Methods: Eleven lower class wheelchair basketball players performed the Wingate test (WT) and two field-based tests (repeated sprints) of 15 (S-15) and 20 (S-20) meters. The WT provides data in Watts (W). The S-15 and…

Mahar, Matthew T.; Welk, Gregory J.; Rowe, David A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
Purpose: To develop models to estimate aerobic fitness (VO[subscript 2]max) from PACER performance in 10- to 18-year-old youth, with and without body mass index (BMI) as a predictor. Method: Youth (N = 280) completed the PACER and a maximal treadmill test to assess VO[subscript 2]max. Validation and cross-validation groups were randomly formed to…

Johnson, Roger W. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Percentage of body fat, age, weight, height, and 14 circumference measurements (e.g., waist) are given for 184 women aged 18-25. Body fat, one measure of health, was accurately determined by an underwater weighing technique which requires special equipment and training of the individuals conducting the process. Modeling body fat percentage using…
