This study established reference Z-score values for paediatric cycloergometer VO2max using a logarithmic function of VO2max, height and BMI, applicable to normal and extreme weights. Providing Z-scores to assess aerobic fitness in the paediatric population should be useful in the follow-up of children with chronic diseases.
