BMI, body mass index; HS, high school.

Times were derived based on estimated 85% of maximum speed for BMI values (20-40 kg/m2) and are expressed in seconds (s) or seconds and minutes (min) and seconds. The estimated confidence interval for time to run 1 mile is approximately 20 seconds. This cannot be translated for distances other than 1 mile. Thus, the mile time for a BMI of 20 kg/m2 would range from 420.5 to 500.5 seconds.
