Abstract
BACKGROUND: max using the YMCA 3-minute step test. METHODS: max measures, respectively. RESULTS: max measurements from the treadmill test (r = 0.80, p < 0.0001; KR group: r = 0.81, p < 0.0001; VN group: r = 0.93, p < 0.0001). Bland-Altman analysis revealed statistical agreement between tests, although there was a systematic overestimation of 3.36 mL/kg/min for the KR group. CONCLUSION: max in other populations.
