- Abstract
Aerobic capacity is one of the physiological requirements for fighters of Jiu-Jitsu. The test considered the "gold standard" of this capacity is the direct test of VO2max, considered a physiological parameter for estimating the level of functional capacity of the cardiorespiratory system, however, indirect tests currently using prediction equations have been proposed and used to determine VO2max indirectly, providing practical and more accessible. Aim. The aim of this study is to analyze the sensitivity of the prediction equation test of 1600m for young Brazilians to determine VO2max in fighters of Jiu Jitsu. Methods. Participated in the study 30 men (24.6 ±5.1 years, 76.3 ±11.4 kgs, 1.77 ±0.05 m, 24.4 ±2.94 kg.m2 -1), physically active fighters of Jiu Jitsu to at least 12 months. The participants performed two tests to determine maximal aerobic capacity A direct test of VO2max through a ramp protocol with a fixed inclination of 1% and speed initial 6km.h-1, with increments of 0.75 km.h- 1.min-1 until exhaustion, and the protocol of Almeida et al. (2010) for young Brazilians, which consisted of a 1600m run test on a track, where the average speed was applied to the prediction equation proposed. Results. The data were normally distributed and there was no statistical difference (p <0.05) between VO2max values direct (52.5 ±3.5 mL.kg.min-1) and Test of 1600m (52.4 ± 2,8 mL.kg.min-1), present good correlation (r = 0.85). Conclusion: The study showed that the test of 1600m for young Brazilians are validated to determine the VO2max practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
