WAYS AND PROTOCOLS INDIRECT FIELD FOR PREDICTION OFAXIMUM OXYGEN CONSUMPTION IN INDIVIDUALS PHYSICALLY ACTIVE

Abstract

The measurementofphysical fitness Of individual swith the focus on their functional classification has been studied since 1918 ,when it was performed the first stress test . There is a wide variety of exercise tests to predict VO2 max performed in the field. The aimof this study was correlate the values ??of maximu moxygen consumption( VO2max ) , obtained in two protocol sindirect sub – field maximum . Protocols were used Cooper 12 minutes and2,400 ,seeking the possibility of using the results in prescribing exercise intensities for physically active individuals - not athletes . The sample consisted of 15 subjects( four male andeleven female ) physically active , with 33 ± 11.6 years of age, 71 ± 26.1 body mass , 155 ± 28.2 cm in height . The protocols used were performed in all subjects ,with an interval between one and a not her one week. Besides descriptives tatistics ,we used the Pearson correlation . The result of the correlation coefficientis Pearson's product moment r = 0.88 , it means that there is a strong positive correlation between the two protocols used , or suggested that both protocols can be used to predict the aerobic capacity, . Based on the results presented it is concluded that the administration of these field protocols showed no significant difference for the prediction of maximum oxygen consumption , not interfere in the subsequent decision decision to prescribe aerobic training intensity .
