The critical velocity (CV) model has been extensively studied in many exercises modes, however to determine CV is necessary to perform several predicting trials. To overcome this difficulty, it has been proposed a single test for determining the Critical Power (CP) which has shown to be reliable, correlate and similar to CP determined in cycle ergometer, remaining the need to seek similar evidences during running testing. The main objective of this study was to verify the validity of a single all-out 3 minutes running test (T3) for VC determination (V3min). Eight volunteers were submitted in different days to an incremental treadmill running test to determine VO2máx, the intensity corresponding to VO2máx (iVO2máx) and intensity corresponding to the first and second ventilatory threshold (VT1 and VT2, respectively), three T3 (familiarization, test and retest) to determine V3min, distance traveled (D3min) and peak speed (PV3min) measured by manual timing and VGPS, DGPS and PVGPS measured by a GPS device. Three maximal performances (in random order) on the distances of 800m, 1600m and 2400m were utilized to determine VC through distance/time model. The V3min was significantly higher (6.7%), but highly correlated (r = 0.88) with VC. ANOVA repeated measures showed high intraclasse correlation coefficient (ICC: 0.96; 0.87 and 0.96 to D3min, PV3min and V3min, respectively) and low typical errors of estimate indicating that the T3 presents a good reproducibility and the familiarization test might be discarded. The GPS device seems to be accurate and reliable for measuring speeds in the end of testing, however no confidence date seem to be measure for PV3min and DGPS. We conclude that the T3 showed to be highly reliable and correlate to VC, which can be used to estimate aerobic capacity. However, we suggest caution to use the T3 test for VC determination. / Diante da necessidade de se buscar métodos não invasivos para determinação de limiares de transição fisiológicas o modelo convencional de determinação da velocidade crítica (VC) surge, trazendo consigo uma quantidade elevada de testes que preferencialmente deveriam ser realizados em dias diferentes. O modelo de teste único proposto para determinação da Potência Crítica (PC) parece resolver esse problema, restando a necessidade de se buscar indícios semelhantes em testes de corrida. Assim, o principal objetivo do estudo é verificar se um teste único de corrida em máxima velocidade durante 3 minutos (T3) é válido para determinação da VC de indivíduos fisicamente ativos. Oito indivíduos ativos foram submetidos, em dias diferentes, a um teste incremental em esteira rolante para determinação do consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2máx), da intensidade do VO2máx (iVO2máx) e da intensidade do primeiro e do segundo limiar ventilatório (VT1 e VT2, respectivamente), três T3 (familiarização, teste e reteste) em pista de 200m para determinação da V3min, da distância percorrida (D3min) e de pico de velocidade (PV3min) (cronometragem manual) e VGPS, DGPS e PVGPS (monitoramento via GPS); e por último três testes máximos de campo em distâncias fixadas em 800m, 1600m e 2400m (em ordem aleatória) para determinação da VC através do modelo trabalho/tempo. A V3min foi identificada 6,7% acima, mas significativamente correlacionada com a VC (r = 0,88). O resultado de ANOVA de medidas repetidas bem como altos coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC: 0,96; 0,87 e 0,96 para D3min, PV3min e V3min, respectivamente), e baixos erros típico de medida indicam que o T3 tem boa reprodutibilidade e indica a possibilidade de descarte da familiarização para o T3. O dispositivo de GPS parece ser confiável para medida da velocidade nos instantes finais do teste, deixando dúvidas quanto a sua confiabilidade em medir o PVGPS e a DGPS. Podemos concluir, portanto, que o T3 é um teste reprodutivo e bem relacionado à VC, podendo ser usado como índice de capacidade aeróbia. No entanto, sugerimos cautela na utilização do teste como meio de determinar a VC.

Cette thèse porte sur l’évaluation et la prise en charge par l’activité physique d’adolescent(e)s obèses. Deux études ont quantifié leurs réponses psychophysiologiques à un test de course intermittent en 15-15 (Rossi et al., 2009), progressif et maximal. Comparé au test navette de 20m (Léger et al., 1988), la pertinence du test 15-15 pour cette population réside dans la production de réponses physiologiques maximales similaires tout en conduisant à des vitesses supérieures et à une meilleure condition physique perçue. Deux autres études ont évalué les effets d’un programme de 5 semaines d’exercices intermittents d’intensité vigoureuse (VIT) sur la composition corporelle et les conditions physiques objective et perçue d’adolescents obèses. Le programme comprenait 3 séances hebdomadaires de types de VIT différant en durée et en activités physiques et sportives. Des améliorations de la composition corporelle, des capacités fonctionnelles, notamment chez les garçons, et de la plupart des échelles de capacités physiques perçues sont obtenues. Le VIT de longue durée engendre des améliorations rapides et régulières des échelles de capacités physiques perçues / This thesis fits the assessment and follow-up by physical activity of obese adolescents. Two studies measured their psychophysiological responses to an intermittent progressive and maximal running test in 15-15 (Rossi et al., 2009). Compared to the 20 m shuttle run test (Léger et al., 1988), the 15-15 test is considered as relevant for such population as it leads to similar maximal physiological responses, but also to higher speeds and better perceived physical condition of the participants. Two other studies evaluated the effects of a 5 week program of intermittent exercises at vigorous intensity (VIT) on body composition, objective and perceived physical conditions of obese adolescents. The program included 3 weekly VIT sessions that differed in the type and duration of the included sport and physical activities. Improvements were obtained in body composition, functional capacities, particularly among boys, and in most of the scales of perceived physical capacities. The longest VIT sessions led to rapid and regular improvements of all scales of perceived physical capacities
