Sumario:To verify the influence of the resting heart rate (RHR) measurement on different positions in the calculation of VO<sub>2max</sub> intensities in young individuals of both sexes. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a correlational design with a sample of 22 men and 11 women, aged 27.8 ± 6.5 years and 29.0 ± 8.6 years, respectively, healthy, active and sedentary, who performed the stress test on a treadmill until fatigue. For the treatment of the data, a repeated measures ANOVA was carried out with Bonferroni’s post hoc test. Results: The comparison of the mean values of baseline heart rate (Bhr) between the groups of women and men showed significant differences (t = 2.329; gl 31; <i>p</i> = 0.027). However, no significant differences were noted for lying (t = 0.057; gl 31; <i>p</i> = 0.95), sitting (t = 0.196 gl 31; <i>p</i> = 0.85) or standing (t = −0.290; gl 31; <i>p</i> = 0.77). But in the analysis of the intensities of the RHR in different positions, the calculations with baseline and lying HR were significantly different (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Conclusion: The determination of aerobic training intensities by RHR method must observe the heart rate measurement at rest in the sitting and/or standing positions minutes before the training session.
