The Spartacus test was conducted on a 750 m (75 × 10 m) rectangular course marked with cones at regular intervals to indicate different speeds (from 7 to 18 km/h). Each participant began running at 7 km/h, with speed increasing by 1 km/h every three minutes.During the 3-minute intervals (for each speed stage), participants had 15 seconds to reach the corresponding marker, followed by 15 seconds of rest. Participants had to adjust their running pace to reach the target cone in synchrony with an audio signal. The test ended when a participant failed to reach the next cone within the given time. This test is validated for assessing maximal aerobic capacity (MAS) in obese adolescents. During the Spartacus test, maximal heart rate (HRmax) was recorded using a heart rate monitor (S810; Polar, Kempele, Finland).
