Maximal aerobic capacity and its relationship to physical growth in 463 Chinese children and adolescents aged 10-19 is reported. Results show that VO2max, VO2max/height and VO2max/HRmax positively relate to measures of physical growth such as height, weight and lean body mass (LBM). Correlation of VO2max/weight with physical growth variables is high and positive in boys and low and negative in girls. The sample is divided to two groups on each variable: well-developed and relatively poorly-developed according to height, weight and LBM. SDS values of VO2max, VO2max/height and VO2max/HRmax are higher in the first group than in the second group. In contrast, SDS values of VO2max/weight and VO2max/LBM are greater in second group. The similarity of results between SDS values with correlation analysis suggest that weight and LBM are probably the decisive factors that influence VO2max.
