Abstract

Increasingly in soccer, is used in the aid of technology to improve the performance of athletes. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is one of the main physiological variables involved in this sport because it is in index of physical fitness and can be used as a parameter for exercise prescription. The purpose of this study was to compare the values of VO2max between professional players of different positions from a Potiguar team of soccer. Have been reviewed 36 ergospirometry tests of ABC football club athletes, with age of 26.54 ± 4.51 years, weight 75.95 ± 7.15 kg, height 1.79 ± 0.06 m and body mass index (BMI) of 23.67 ± 1.48 kg/m2 between 2005 and 2007. The athletes were allocated in five groups: goalkeepers (GO); defenders (ZG); full backs (LT); midfielders (MC), and forwards (AT). The results obtained was GO = 50.1 ± 3.04* ml/(kg.min); ZG = 56.85 ± 4.29 ml/(kg.min), LT = 59.21 ± 2.3* ml/(kg.min); MC = 57.18 ± 4.68* ml/(kg.min) and AT = 55.7 ± 5.29 ml/(kg.min). Analyzing the results it was concluded that significant difference in VO2max between GO and LA group was found, also in GO and MC group. Thus, in the studied population, goalkeepers had lower average VO2max, wile full backs and mildfielders showed the best cardiorrespiratory fitness.
