A Comparative Study Of The Variety Of Test Methods For Maximum Heart Rate Of Football Players

Training loading is an important basis to achieve the purpose of training,and we usually confirm training loading by the percent of max heart rate.To control training loading exactly,the first thing is to accurately measure the maximum heart rate of football players.There are some test methods to get football player's maximum heart rate,Increasing load cycle ergometer test,Increasing load treadmill test,400 m full speed run test and Bangsbo test method.There is a formula(220-age)can calculate football player's maximum heart rate.To test maximum heart rate exactly,this article uses the litera ture material method,interviewing method,mathematical statistics method,comparative analysis method,logical analysis method and so on.Based on various testing methods of football players' maximum heart rate,,with 12 footballers in Beijing sports university team as test object,Using the method of formula calculation for footballers maximum heart rate,Increasing load cycle ergometer test,Increasing load treadmill test,400 m run full test and Bangsbo test methods of testing football players maximum heart rate,we came to the following main conclusions:1.In four test methods,the accuracy from high to low is: increasing load treadmill test;400m full speed run test;Bangsbo test;Increasing load cycle ergometer test.2.Except for the increasing load treadmill test,after using the others three test methods to get football player's max heart rate,some corrections are needed to get more accurate results about the maximum heart rate.3.There is big difference between increasing load treadmill test's result and 220-age's result.According to the results,we suggest:1.In good condition,we recommend choose the increasing load treadmill to test the maximum heart rate of football player.2.Except for the increasing load treadmill test,after using the others three test methods to get football player's max heart rate,some corrections are needed to get more accurate results about the maximum heart rate: with the Bangsbo test,the result shall X 105.4%;with 400 m run full test,the result shall X 104.2%;with the increasing load cycle ergometer test,the result shall X 106.4%.3.We do't recommend using the formula 220-age to calculate the maximum heart rate of the football player.
