Abstract: Study design: Cross-sectional validity study. Objectives: To determine the criterion validity, Standard Error of the Measurement (SEM) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC), of a newly developed submaximal test (Holmlund-Grooten test) for estimating the peak oxygen consumption in wheelchair users with motor-complete Spinal Cord Injury (mcSCI). Settings: Outpatient rehabilitation centre in Stockholm, Sweden. Methods: Peak and submaximal oxygen uptake (VO2) was measured using indirect calorimetry. A backward linear regression model, including heart rate, power output, and several demographic variables, was used to predict absolute VO2peak. Results: In total, 63 individuals (16 females) with mcSCI were included. The final prediction model included four significant (p
