This study aimed to verify the validity of the value for resting heart rate (RHR) recorded immediately beforea maximal exercise test. For convenience, 23 university women (21.8±2.8 years, 57.9±10.2 kg, 163.6±5.5cm) healthy and with previous experience in this test were enrolled. All subjects performed randomly twovisits to the laboratory, one only to record the RHR and another followed to a test of maximal effort,using the treadmill Bruce protocol. It was applied the Student t-test for paired data with significance levelof p<0.05. The results showed significant differences in RHR values between the control day (68.2±7.5bpm) and pretest day (71.9±7.8 bpm) (p=0.003) with an average increase of 4 bpm, ranging from -7 to17 bpm. Then, we conclude that the values of RHR unchanged when recorded before a maximal exercisetest in young university women students.Downloads
