Özet

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models based on maximal and non-exercise (N-Ex) variables are developed to predict maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2)max) the input variables of the dataset are gender, age, body mass index (BMI), grade, self-reported rating of perceived exertion (RPE) from treadmill test, heart rate (HR), perceived functional ability (PFA) and physical activity rating (PA-R). The performance of the models is evaluated by calculating their standard error of estimate (SEE) and multiple correlation coefficient (R). The results suggest that the performance of VO(2)max prediction models based on maximal and standard N-Ex variables (i.e. gender, age, BMI etc) can be improved by including questionnaire variables (PFA and PA-R) in the models.
