Summary:ABSTRACT Soccer and futsal have similar technical movements that are used within different spatial dimensions and game dynamics. The possible physiological differences between players of each sport were unknown. The main purpose of this study was to compare the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and ventilatory thresholds (VT) of soccer and futsal players. VO2max and VT of 32 athletes (soccer: n = 15; futsal: n = 17) were obtained by ergospirometry in a progressive treadmill test. VO2max was similar between groups. VT occurred later and at higher running speeds in the soccer players. The similarities found in VO2max may be related to the fact that the evaluations were carried out in the pre-season. The fact that the VT was reached later in the soccer players suggests a longer capacity for aerobic exercise and greater resistance to lactate production. Moreover, soccer players appear to be conditioned to withstand increased running times and speeds, until exhaustion. Players of both sports reached the second VT at similar intensities, suggesting no prevalence of anaerobic metabolism. Soccer and futsal players have similar VO2max, but their VTs occur at different times, and at different running speeds. Level of Evidence III; Cross-sectional study. RESUMO O futebol e o futsal têm movimentos técnicos semelhantes que são utilizados em distintas dimensões espaciais e dinâmicas de jogo. As possíveis diferenças fisiológicas entre as modalidades não foram esclarecidas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar o consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2máx) e os limiares ventilatórios (LV) de atletas de futebol e futsal. O VO2máx e os LV de 32 atletas (futebol: n = 15; futsal: n = 17) foram obtidos por ergoespirometria em teste progressivo de esteira. O VO2máx foi semelhante entre grupos. Os LV ocorreram mais tardiamente e em maiores velocidades nos atletas de futebol. A semelhança encontrada nos valores de VO2máx pode estar relacionada com as avaliações terem sido realizadas em pré-temporada. A obtenção tardia dos LV em atletas de futebol sugere maior permanência em exercício aeróbico e maior resistência à produção de lactato. Além disso, parecem estar condicionados ao fato de suportarem maiores tempos e velocidades de corrida até chegarem à exaustão. Entretanto, ambas as modalidades atingiram o segundo LV em intensidades semelhantes, sugerindo não haver prevalência do metabolismo anaeróbico. Atletas de futebol e futsal apresentam VO2máx similares, embora os LV ocorram em momen
