Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the intensity of
official Futsal matches, expressed in different ways. Fourteen
male professional Futsal players from a First Division Brazilian
team volunteered to participate in this study. Maximal oxygen
uptake (_ VO2max) and the heart hate (HR) and oxygen uptake
(_VO2) correlation were determined for each player. The match
intensity was estimated from the players’ average HR measured
during 13 National Futsal League matches. The HR measurements
were obtained while the players were in the court but the
values recorded while the players were sitting on the bench were
not considered. In addition, these HR values were used to
estimate the intensity of the effort expressed as a percentage of
the maximal HR (%HRmax), percentage of _ VO2max (%_VO2max),
kilocalories per minute (kcal min21), and total caloric expenditure.
The mean intensity of the matches was 86.4 6 3.8%HRmax,
79.269.0%_ VO2max, 18.062.2 kcal min21, and 31369.3 kcal.
It was concluded that official Futsal matches have high intensity
when expressed in the different ways used in this study. The
information provided by this research can be used for planning
the athletes’ workouts, diets, and resting periods.
