Abstract
Purpose We aimed to compare three candidate body size index models for the scaling of aerobic fitness (V˙O2peak) in children: whole body mass, total lean body mass, and the lean mass of both legs. Methods V˙O2peak and total lean mass of the body and both legs (via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) were assessed in 126 girls and 87 boys aged 9–11 yr. We applied nonlinear allometric models of the form V˙O2peak = a×body sizeb, adjusted for...
