Validation of the 5-minute running test as a physiological indicator of aerobic fitness
The findings suggest that the 5-minute running test, in combination with portable metabolic gas analysis, is a valid and practical method for estimating aerobic fitness in field settings. While the 5RFT may overestimate VO2max values compared to laboratory testing, its strong correlations support its applicability as a convenient alternative assessment tool.
