Introduction: Evaluations are necessary to propose physical training, particularly in the periodization of female futsal training, theme on which there are few studies. This study had as objective to verify the possible effects of the cardiorespiratory capacity (maximum VO 2 ) and body mass index (BMI) between the periods of training of adult feminine futsal athletes of Universidade Norte do Paraná, Brazil. Materials and Methods: Twelve feminine adult futsal players, national elite, with average age 23±4 years old participated in the study. After reading and signing the informed consent, the BMI was calculated, and the Shuttle Run Test, proposed for Léger e Lambert, was used to esteem the maximum VO 2 of the athletes. Results: The results demonstrated that BMI did not vary significantly (p=0.93) between the periods, presenting a discrete reduction of 0.31±0.02%; the maximum VO 2 had a significant variation (p=0.0005) of 8.31±0.06% from a period to another. The correlation between VO 2 maximun and BMI was not significant (p=0.28; p=0.15).
