Abstract

 

Objective. To verify the reliability of maximal heart rate obtained (MHRobt) in official soccer games and to compare it with calculated by equations (MHRpre).

Method. The study included 18 soccer players (14 ± 0.6 years, 174 ± 6 cm, 62 ± 6 kg) participant of a Brazilian state championship in U-15 category. The equations were selected [MHR = age-220]; Tanaka et al. [MHR = 208 - (0.7*age)] and Nes et al. [MHR=211 - (0.64*age)] for comparison with MHRobt in competition.

Results. Bland-Altman analyze showed good agreement of MHRobt and the CV (1 %) and ICC (0.95 [0.86 - 0.98]) show good reliability of the inter matches. The MHRobt (202 ± 8 bpm) was lower than 220 - age equation (205 ± 1 bpm; P < 0.05) and higher than Tanaka et al. (198 ± 0.4; P < 0.05), with no difference to the Nes et al. equation (202 ± 0.5 bpm) (P > 0.05).

Conclusion. MHRobt there is good reliability between soccer matches in competition and it is recommended to use the Nes et al. [MHR = 211 - (0.64 * age)] equation to MHRpre in young soccer players.
