The dangers of predicting ratio standards using multiple regression: A case study using the ratio standard VO2peak (ml·kg−1·min−1)
This case study provides powerful evidence that allometric models are more interpretable and provide a superior fit compared with multiple regression models when predicting ratio standards. Note that a simple algebraic adjustment enables researchers to predict the ratio standard VO<sub>2peak</sub> (ml·kg<sup>-1</sup>·min<sup>-1</sup>) without further analyses.
