Characteristics of Distance Runs and Criterion Measures of
Endurance. Master of Science (Physical Education), December,

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship
between treadmill time, maximal oxygen consumption and pace
characteristics of the 1.5 and 3 mile runs and to compare
the distances and pace characteristics as predictors of
aerobic capacity. Subjects were 70 college aged males, ages
18 to 25, enrolled in jogging and conditioning classes at
North Texas State University. Three tests were administered:
the 1.5 mile run, the 3 mile run and the Bruce treadmill
test. The data were analyzed using correlations and factor
analysis. Conclusions of the investigation were (1) the 1.5
and 3 mile runs are valid measures of aerobic capacity, (2)
the 3 mile run does not significantly increase the correla-
tion between VO2max and endurance runs and (3) pacing
characteristics are evident in the 1.5 and 3 mile runs.
