Description
Summary:The aim of the present study was to compare the highest heart rate (HR) of soccer players recorded during competition matches with the maximum HR (HR(max)) estimated from age and the highest HR recorded in effort tests within a single category (intracategory) and between categories (intercategories). The sample was made up of 19 under-17 athletes, 12 under-20 athletes and 14 professional athletes of a Brazilian first division soccer team. Players' HR was monitored during official competition matches and maximum effort test with a set of HR monitors. The highest HR recorded during competitive matches (MHR1) was considered as the highest HR value attained by each player during matches. HR(max) estimated from age (MHR2) was estimated by using the equation HR(max)= (220-age). The highest HR recorded in effort tests (MHR3) was determined as being the highest HR value recorded during a maximum effort test (1 000-m run). The Wilcoxon test was used in intracategory statistical analysis. The Kruskal Wallis test was used in intercategory statistical analysis. The significance level adopted was P
