Cooper Test Provides Better Half-Marathon Performance Prediction in Recreational Runners Than Laboratory Tests

Cooper Test Provides Better Half-Marathon Performance Prediction in Recreational Runners Than Laboratory Tests

This study compared the ability to predict performance in half-marathon races through physiological variables obtained in a laboratory test and performance variables obtained in the Cooper field test. Twenty-three participants (age: 41.6 ± 7.6 years, weight: 70.4 ± 8.1 kg, and height: 172.5 ± 6.3 cm...
