Comparison of maximum heart rate obtained in tests treadmill and field in healthy men. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity. v. 6, n. 1, p. 18-24, 2012. The aim of this study were to compare the response of maximum heart rate (MHR) to two treadmill protocols (Bruce et al.; Balke and Ware) and one of field (2,400 m. of the Cooper). The sample was composed by thirty subjects of masculine gender (22,9 ¡À 2,45 years old) university students. To determine the differences between MHR was chosen for the test of analysis Anova One Way, followed by verification of post-hot Tukey. The results of MHR protocols were Balke and Ware 186.8 ¡À 7.7 bpm, Bruce et al. 190.9 ¡À 7.6 bpm, 194.2 ¡À 8.6 bpm Cooper. The values of the MHR test of Bruce et al. and Cooper showed no statistically significant difference, while the MHR test of Balke and Ware was significantly lower than that of the Cooper test. We conclude that both the Cooper and the protocol of Bruce et al. are adequate to determine the FCM in the sample, while the Balke and Ware test underestimates the FCM, and is not suitable for its determination. %K maximum heart rate %K physical tests %K men. %U http://www.brjb.com.br/files/brjb_166_6201203_id1.pdf
