  1. Data are presented as counts and (percentages). κ = Cohen’s Kappa coefficient and [95% CI]. The reference standards from the Fitness Registry and the Importance of Exercise National Database (FRIEND) were used to divide participants based on age and sex into the V̇O2peak tertile group [24]. The three V̇O2peak categories were determined as “lower” if the V̇O2peak was below the 33rd percentile, “average” if V̇O2peak was between the 33rd and 66th percentile, and “higher” if V̇O2peak was above the 66th percentile. V̇O2peak is in ml·min–1·kg–1.
