Sports Physiol., Vol.11, No.2 pp61-67, 2005. The prupose of this study was to evaluate the sencitivity of the stair-climb test to predict changes in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) following ten weeks of aerobic training. Twemty-two men (mean age 37±10 years) and 22 women (mean age 35±11 years) participated in the study. All subjects preformed a pre-training treadmill test (TM1) and stairclimb test (SCT1) to obtain their muasured and predicted VO2max (MVO2max & PVO2max), resoectively. Thereafter, they were randomized into the Exercise (E) and Control (C) groups. The training intervention for the E group consisted of thriee weekly 30-min sessions of aerobic exercises for ten weeks, with a target intensity ranging from 65 to 90% of maximum heart rate. The physical activity pattern of the C group remainde unchanged throughout this period. Subsequently, all subjects performed a post-training treadmill test (TM2) and stair-climb test (SCT2). The difference between the changes in PVO2max and MVO2max following training ranged from -4.4 to 3.0 ml･kg-1･min-1. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficients (0.62 - 0.82; P<0.01) and the Spearman rank correlation coeffieients (0.55 - 0.87; P<0.01) showed a moderate and positive relationship between PVO2max and MVO2max for men and women, pre- and post- training. In conclusion, the SCT (1) did not accurately track the changes in VO2max after ten weeks of aerobic training; (2) but could acceptably rank or categorize subjects' VO2max into broad fitness categories. The SCT serves as a simple and self-administered prosedure to encourage sedentary individuals to engage in moderately intense aerobic exercise. We recommend that the SCT should not be used to precisely quantify or track small changes in cardio-respiratory fitness, but rather to create an interest in exercise by providing a broad estimate of aerobic fitness. It may also serve as a motivational tool to encourage individuals to use the stairs more often for exercise.
