Energy balance
The multiple-stage shuttle run (MST) significantly underpredicted VO2max for the entire group (n = 20; p < 0.01) and for runners independently (p < 0.01).
Practitioners should be cautious in using the MST to predict VO2max in these athletic populations.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
The MST significantly underpredicted VO2max for the entire group(n = 20; p < 0.01) and when the runners data were analysed independently (p< 0.01).
Why this rating
Based on the statistical significance and the study design involving direct measurement.
