Futsal is an intermittent high-intensity sport that taxes both aerobic and anaerobic pathways [1]. A previous study has highlighted the importance of a high aerobic power in futsal players for allowing a greater tolerance of daily training and match workloads [2]. Additionally, another recent study has reported that the speed associated to maximum aerobic consumption (VO2max) could be more sensitive for detecting differences between players’ competitive level than VO2max [3]. Collectively, these studies reinforce the necessity of monitoring VO2max and its associated speed over futsal players’ season. However, while these parameters are important, only one study has evaluated the specific intermittent capacity of futsal players with the futsal intermittent endurance test (FIET) [4]. Interestingly, this previous study [4] reported a relationship between FIET performance and the speed associated to VO2max, but not with VO2max. This is an interesting finding that reinforces the need of using valid and specific tests to monitor aerobic fitness of futsal players over the season as these relationships would be mediated by the requirement of high-intensity actions (HIA) during matches [3].
