Abstract

Compare the VO2 Max. obtained after the application of two field tests at 2,600 meters above sea level. Methodology: Descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out in 185 trained young university students with a minimum training three times a week or practitioners of some sports discipline for more than a year. To obtain the VO2 Max. the Cooper Test (CRT) and the Course Navette or Leger Test (SRT-20m) were used as field tests. Results: The average age of the participants was 20,3 ± 2,0; in the CRT test the average VO2 Max. obtained was 38,3 ±10 ml/kg/min for both genders while the SRT-20m was 53 ± 6,5 ml/kg/min for both sexes. VO2 Max. per-CRT, is significantly lower (p=0,00) than the VO2 Max. obtained through the SRT-20m. Conclusions: The CRT underestimates the values of VO2 Max. in trained young adults living at 2,600 m.a.s.l.
