Zusammenfassung:The purpose of this study was to develop treadmill and over-ground VO2 prediction equations for walking for children and adolescents. Participants (n=199; 102 males and 97 females) ages 6-16 years were involved in this study. Height, weight, and sitting height were measured using standard procedures, and percent body fat was determined by skinfolds. Each participant walked over-ground at a self-selected pace using a course of known distance for five minutes. Gender, height, and speed2 were found to be significant predictor variables (p
