Desenvolvimento da capacidade cardiorrespiratória em estudantes-atletas de basquete do Instituto Federal de Roraima Campus Boa Vista. 2025. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Licenciatura em Educação Física) - Instituto Federal de Roraima, Boa Vista, 2025.https://repositorio.ifrr.edu.br/handle/123456789/306This study aimed to investigate the effects of a physical training program on the cardiorespiratory capacity of basketball athletes from the Federal Institute of Roraima, located in Boa Vista, Brazil. The research adopted a quantitative approach with an experimental pre- and post-test design. The participants were male and female students aged between 15 and 18 years, members of the school basketball team and regularly enrolled at the institution, who underwent a structured physical training program. Cardiorespiratory endurance was assessed using the Cooper test at the beginning and at the end of the intervention period. The collected data were analyzed to identify individual and collective performance changes. The results indicated a substantial improvement in cardiorespiratory endurance among the student-athletes after the training intervention, evidenced by an average increase of 18.8% in VO₂max values. Six out of seven participants showed significant improvements, particularly those with lower initial fitness levels, who achieved the greatest relative gains. These findings support the effectiveness of the applied aerobic training program and highlight its importance in enhancing sports performance and promoting health in the school context. It is concluded that well structured school-based training interventions can produce relevant physiological adaptations and contribute significantly to the physical development of young athletes.pt-BRAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilResistência cardiorrespiratóriaBasquetebol escolarTreinamento aeróbicoTeste de Coopertcc_graduacaoCIENCIAS DA SAUDECIENCIAS DA SAUDE::EDUCACAO FISICATREINAMENTO FÍSICO
