| dc.description | The maximum oxygen consumption (VO<sub>2</sub> max) of 421 healthy adult males from three ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay and Indian), aged 25–54 years, was assessed from direct analyses of their expired respiratory gases during all‐out runs on a treadmill as a measure of aerobic fitness. The subjects were divided into three age groups: group 1, 25–34 years; group 2, 35–44 years; group 3, 45–54 years. Each group was further subdivided into non‐exercisers (NE), non‐regular exercisers (NRE) and regular exercisers (RE). Consistently within each age group, regular exercisers produced significantly higher VO<sub>2</sub> max values compared to non‐regular exercisers and non‐exercisers. They also met the VO<sub>2</sub> max requirements for heavy physical work and compared favourably with the standards of the National Physical Fitness Award of Singapore and Cooper's aerobic fitness classification standards based on North American males. Non‐regular exercisers and non‐exercisers only met the VO<sub>2</sub> max requirements for moderate physical work and compared poorly in both of the aerobic fitness standards. |
