Abstract
The aim was investigated the effect of allometric model in relationship between maximal Oxygen uptake (VO2max) and long‐distance running performance. Twelve runners (age: 28.6±7.4 years, body mass: 67.9±9.4kg, height: 1.71±0.7m) were submitted to an incremental treadmill running protocol for determination of VO2max and participated in a trail of 10.000m. despite the significant differences found between the forms of relativization of VO2max (by total body mass, allometric exponent for sampling and lean body mass), the strong correlations verified between VO2max and performance show that this prediction is independent of how the VO2max is relativized.
