BACKGROUND: Laboratory and field tests are important tools to evaluate the general and specific capabilities for performance from both at the amateur and elite soccer players’ levels. Nevertheless, it is necessary to establish levels of reliability and validity that let us apply in the world sports. Objective: the purpose of the study was to examine the relationships between incremental treadmill test and Hoff test to measure the aerobic power of soccer players trained at 2600 meters above sea level. METHODS: 20 male soccer players were evaluated (age: 21.5 ± 2.8 years, weight: 70.7 ± 6.7 Kg, height: 174.8 ± 5.8 cm) with an incremental treadmill test (laboratory test), and Hoff test (field test). Regarding to Hoff test, every soccer player runs a maximum distance in 10 minutes with the ball, approximately 290 meters. Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), CO2 production (VCO2), maximum heart rate (HRmax) and maximum ventilation (Vmax) were registered with a metamax ergoespirometer 3B®. RESULTS: Positive correlations were found among VO2max (r = 0.854 p < 0.01), HRmax (r = 0.660 p < 0.01) and Vmax (r = 0.545 p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: the results suggest a relation between both laboratory and field tests and let us measure the aerobic power of soccer players trained at 2600 meters above sea level with the highest levels of reliability.
