Abstract

The main aim of this research is to obtain an equation to determine the VO2 max through a submaximal test using heart rate recovery (HRr). A correlational descriptive study was designed within a quantitati-ve framework, where 18 subjects, all physical education college students, from freshman to senior year, were evaluated (9 females and 9 males), using diversity sampling (intentional). The HRr was measured in the McArdle submaximal step using the HR monitor, Polar V800 model (Finland), and the VO2 max. in the Bruce maximum effort test was measured with the gas analyzer COSMED model Fitmate PRO (Italy). In the results, the correlation (Pearson coefficient) obtained was r = −0.84 (p<0.001) which is within the considerable category, obtaining the equation y = 0.4132 x + 110.68 with a standard error of estimation (SEE) of 5.8 ml.kg.min−1.
