Valores de referencia para las pruebas de Cooper y de 20m de ida y vuelta en población residente en altitud elevada. [Reference values for Cooper and Shuttle Run Tests in population living at high altitude]

The aim of this study was to report the reference values for indirect VO2max obtained in the Cooper Run Test (CRT) and Shuttle Run Test (SRT-20m) in trained young population residing at high altitude, between 2600 and 3700 meters above sea level (masl). A total of 614 physically active subjects (118 women, 496 men; 20.2±2.3 years; 65.3±10.3 kg; 169.1 ± 7.8 cm; 22.7±2.8 kg·m-2) residing in Bogotá, or municipalities of the metropolitan area, participated in this cross-sectional study. The VO2max percentiles were established for the CRT and SRT-20m tests in the study population, highlighting that the records obtained in the SRT-20m were higher than CRT. VO2max values in subjects living at
