Abstract

The metabolic and cardiorespiratory profiles of 301 female soldiers from Non-Operative Military Organizations (OMNOP) and Operative Organizations (OMOP) of the Brazilian Army were compared. This is an analytical cross-sectional study, which analyzed the following variables: cardiorespiratory fitness, biochemical markers and body composition. In the difference of VO2max averages, the OMOP military had statistically higher scores (M = 36.2 ± 4.4 ml/kg/min) than the OMNOP (M = 34.2 ± 5.7 ml/kg/min). VO2max correlated positively with HDL cholesterol and negatively with triglyceride and BMI. On the other hand, BMI correlated negatively with HDL cholesterol and positively with triglyceride and glucose. Glucose correlated with HDL cholesterol. The results of the study corroborated the evidence in the literature regarding productive, positive and negative associations between VO2max and indicators of cardiovascular health.
