A sedentary lifestyle is a major cardiovascular risk factor, so knowing the level of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max); you can make improvements in physical activity levels and exercise. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between ergospirometry and Queen's College Step Test in healthy and physically active men of the sports programs of a university in Bogotá - Colombia, because the Queen's College Step Test has not been validated in Colombian population. Participants were 52 men (range, age 17-35 years) who underwent each of the tests; the results were analyzed by applying the Pearson correlation coefficient, which was low with r = 0.278; generating a little significant correlation and an unfavorable recommendation in this population.Downloads
