Establishing modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test (mCAFT) cut-points to detect clustered cardiometabolic risk among Canadian children and youth aged 9 to 17 years

The objective of this study was to establish cut-points to identify potential clustered cardiometabolic risk among children (aged 9–13 years) and youth (aged 14–17 years) using the modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test (mCAFT). Nationally representative cross-sectional data were obtained from cycles 1 and 2 (2007–2011) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
