Consumo máximo de oxigênio (vo2max) em relação ao indice de massa corporal (imc) em praticantes de karatê-dô

Abstract

The Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO2max) that is the ability of human beings and animals, to conduct exercises the with good, in middle and long term, can be identified through aerobic fitness tests in relation to the volume of oxygen breathed and inspired volume during exercise. In the present study was performed to test for 12 minutes Race Cooper, in which we have a relationship with the Body Mass Index (BMI) with practitioners of Karate-do. And the sample tests were performed with 12 male athletes in the Goiania capital of the state of Goias. The goal of this study is to bring informative data of the Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO2max) in athletes and BMI the Karate-Do. And about the results of sample characterization relate graphs of physical performance, with standard tables, Cooper, and BMI Quetelec, and give the classification of VO2max and Body Weight. In which we find the classification performance aerobic VO2 very weak and BMI ideal weight, and found no relationship between weight and VO2max direct influence in this research. In which the final results shown in the graphs referring to the tables where even individuals with ideal weight and well trained in the estimated period for the survey sample, they failed to achieve the desired ratings for the sport with aerobic fitness with good, excellent and superior levels.
