Abstract

The evaluation of cardiorespiratory fitness in sports is a very common practice to establish fitness levels and can improve them. Which assessment should be carried out through specific testing modalities where they can reflect the adaptations that occur during training allowing adjustmentsin training programs. So this study was to evaluate the maximum oxygen uptake in professional volleyball players compared to the different playing positions of athletes. For the study were analyzed 25 athletes (age = 23.13 ± 5.33 years, weight = 83.3 ± 4.9 kg, height = 1.93 ± 6.3 cm and8.13 ± 3.17 = fat % body fat). The subjects were divided into 5 groups separated by position: (S) sweeper (L) lifter (L) opposite network(OP), (NM) network medium (NE)network edge. The VO2 max of athletes was determined on a treadmill by direct analysis. For data analysis ANOVA was used, with subsequent test application supplementary Bonferroni t -test. For all statistical analysis was adopted the significance coefficient p < 0.05. The results showed that no significant differences in VO2 max between groups of athletes and their specific positions set (S) Setter, (L) Lifter (NO) Network Opposite, Defender and players Tip. We believe that this is due not exist different aerobic training between the positions of players and perform actions like these in the course of the game there are no great differences in the handling of these athletes on the pitch during matches or training.
