Test-Retest Reliability Statistics^{^a}

↵^a SRiT=10-m shuttle ride test, HRpeak=peak heart rate, ICC=intraclass correlation coefficient, 95% CI=95% confidence interval, SEM=standard error of measurement, SDD=smallest detectable difference, LOA=limits of agreement.

Validity Statistics (n=15)^{^a}

↵^a SRiT=10-m shuttle ride test, GAET=graded arm exercise test, V̇o₂peak=peak oxygen uptake, RER=respiratory exchange ratio, V̇epeak=peak minute ventilation, V̇co₂peak=peak carbon dioxide production, HRpeak=peak heart rate, O₂ pulse=oxygen pulse (V̇o₂peak/HRpeak).
^b P<.05 for the comparison of the SRiT and the GAET.
