Abstract
Cardiovascular endurance is a fundamental
indicator of physical fitness, particularly relevant in the college student
population increasingly predisposed to sedentary behavior. This study assesses
the validity and reliability of three widely used field-based tests—6-Minute
Walk Test (6MWT), Cooper Test, and Beep Test—in estimating VO2 max among
college students. Using a cross-sectional design and Spearman’s correlation
analysis, results showed moderate pre-intervention correlation between the 6MWT
and Cooper Test (r=0.3259), with a decline post-intervention. The Beep Test
showed weaker, inconsistent associations. The findings highlight the utility of
combined testing approaches while underscoring variation in test response and
predictive value.
