Resumo: Traditional methods to normalize aerobic fitness (VO2max) have been considered inadequate for not properly adjusting the effects of body size in children, adolescents and adults. Allometric scaling (Y=aXb) has emerged as an efficient method to compare individuals of different body dimensions. Studies aimed to compare VO2max in individuals with different body sizes should use methodology that properly accounts for the body size effect, thereby avoiding misinterpretation and reaching the potentially wrong conclusion. The use of allometric scaling for studies aimed to compare aerobic fitness in children and adolescents who dramatically vary in body size is strongly recommended.

A alometria (Y=aXb) tem demonstrado ser um eficiente método para comparar indivíduos com diferentes dimensões corporais. Estudos que desejam comparar o VO2max em indivíduos heterogêneos em tamanho corporal deveriam usar uma metodologia que ajuste apropriadamente o efeito do tamanho corporal, evitando, assim, interpretações errôneas e conclusões equivocadas. Desta forma, recomendamos fortemente a aplicação de escalas alométricas em estudos que tenham como objetivo comparar a aptidão cardiorrespiratória em crianças e adolescentes com diferentes tamanhos corporais.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
