ABSTRACT To compare times achieved in a 1,600m rural road run with the times predicted from critical speed, in addition to verify any association between critical speed and VO2max with the aerobic performance (1,600m time) of children. The sample consisted of 25 boys and 39 girls, aged 9 to 11 years. Their critical speeds were determined using the work versus time model, performed in the 200m and 800m maximum runs. The value of VO2max was measured using a 20-meter shuttlerun test. Endurance performance was determinate from the time obtained in a rural 1,600m road run. Statistical procedures used were descriptive analyses, Student’s t test and Pearson’s moment correlation, with signifi cance level set at p
