Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine an appropriate method to "normalize" oxygen uptake (V) over dot O-2) for body size in children and adolescents. Methods: We examined allometric scaling factors for a cohort of 126 children (mean age at baseline = 10.3 yr) participating in a 5-yr follow-up study. Each year for 5 yr we measured peak (V) over dot O-2, submaximal (V) over dot O-2, body mass, height, body composition, and sexual maturation. We sorted the 5-yr data set by si sui maturation and gender and then used the generalized estimating equation method to estimate regression parameters that described the influence of log transformed body mass on log transformed (V) over dot O-2. All analyses were repeated using log transformed far-free body mass (FFM) in lieu of icg transformed body mass. Results: Models using FFM appeared better at eliminating the effect of body size on (V) over dot O-2. In bays a univariate model with a FFM exponent of 0.91 and in girls a univariate model with a FFM exponent of 0.87 satisfactorily normalized peak (V) over dot O-2 However we could not identify a common body size exponent for both boys and girls. Conclusions: Results support the use of allometric scaling of (V) over dot O-2 as a function of FFM for maturing boys and girls but indicate that the effects of maturation on the relationship between (V) over dot O-2 and body size differ between boys and girls.
