Question

An exercise physiologist examined the association between measurement of VO2max (ml·kg-1·min-1) using indirect open-circuit calorimetry and Cooper’s 12 minute walk-run test of cardio-respiratory fitness (# laps completed on a 440 yard track in 12 minutes) in a group of trained runners

Part F) What is the calculated statistical value for the association between VO2max and Cooper’s 12 minute walk-run test?

            a.         -0.75

            b.         0.75

            c.         -0.92

            d.         0.92

            e.         The statistical value cannot be calculated.

Part G) What are critical statistical values to test H0: no association between VO2max and Cooper’s 12 minute walk-run test at =0.01÷2 (2 tailed test)?

            a.         r=0.231, t=1.682

b.         r=0.273, t=2.010

c.         r=0.561, t=2.878

d.         r=0.654, t=3.291

e.         r=0.322, t=4.409

Part H) Select the correct statement below regarding the statistical decision and the conclusion regarding      an association between VO2max and Cooper’s 12 minute test.

            a.         Fail to reject H0: r=0, VO2max and Cooper’s 12 minute test are not significantly associated                with each other.

            b.         Reject H0: r=0, VO2max and Cooper’s 12 minute test are not significantly associated                          with each other..

            c.         Fail to reject H0: r=0, VO2max and Cooper’s 12 minute test are significantly associated with              each other.

d.         Reject H0: r=0, VO2max and Cooper’s 12 minute test are significantly and positively associated with each other.

e.         Reject H0: r=0, VO2max and Cooper’s 12 minute test are significantly and negatively associated with each other.

Part I) Use the descriptive statistics provided in the tables above (X±sX for VO2max and Cooper’s 12 min walk-run score (# laps completed) and your calculated answer to Question #21 to generate an equation to predict the VO2max (Y) from Cooper’s 12 min walk-run score (X). Compare the predicted and the actual VO2max for subjects (ID) 5 and 20 and select the incorrect statement below.

            a.         Cooper explains 15% of the variance in VO2max, leaving 85% of the total variance as            unexplained error variance.

            b.         The model underestimates VO2max for subject 20.

            c.         The model overestimates VO2max for subject 5.

            d.         Predicted VO2max from Cooper’s 12 min walk-run test is a valid field test of                                     cardiorespiratory fitness.
