Abstract

BACKGROUND: Goalball is a paralympic sport developed especially for people with visual impairments. Although the game occurs through intermittent actions subsidized by anaerobic alactic metabolism, the predominance is aerobic. Thus, considering the importance of this parameter for the maintenance and recovery of efforts, its evaluation is essential for goalball training.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the reproducibility and validity of a specific graded exercise test to determine maximum aerobic capacity in goalball players.
METHODS: A progressive test, Fit-Go, was developed and applied to 10 male players. The reproducibility and validity of the Fit-Go were tested, respectively, based on the test and retest and retest and verification phases.
RESULTS: The Fit-Go test demonstrated reproducibility, assuming that: (i) the analysis of variance of oxygen consumption and heart rate showed no effects between the test and retest moments; (ii) similar variations were found in the rated perceived exertion. The Fit-Go proved valid for analyzing maximum heart rate and peak lactate concentration since these variables did not show differences for both validation situations (i.e., retest and verification effort). The effectiveness of Fit-Go in filling three or more exhaustion criteria confirmed the functionality of the test as a specific progressive intensity protocol for goalball players.
CONCLUSION: Coaches and sports scientists should use Fit-Go as a maximum progressive protocol for goalball players.
