Objective: To assess physical capacity of aged athletes and non athletes submitted to the original Bruce protocol. Methods: Twenty two aged, 15 non athletes and 08 athletes, had been studied (average of age 63 ± 2.16 years), submitted on ergometric test until voluntary exhaustion. We use the original Bruce protocol as treadmill test. We assess the following physiological parameters: Maximum Heart Rate, Arterial Systolic Pressure, Arterial Medium Pressure, Arterial Diastolic Pressure and Rate Pressure Product, in the stages, before, at the end, and 5 and 15 minutes of recover. Results: It had shown significant differences to p < 0.05 of the Maximum Heart Rate between the groups, before and after the test. But it had not shown significant differences in the stages 5 and 15 minutes after the end of the test. Already, the Arterial Sistolic Pressure, Arterial Medium Pressure, Arterial Diastolic Pressure and Rate Pressure Product had shown significant differences to p < 0.05 in all the stages between the groups, aged athletes and aged non athletes. Conclusion: The aged athletes had presented greater physical capacity showing bigger resistance and stay during the accomplishment of the test. They had a marked recovery in the values of Arterial Systolic Pressure, Arterial Medium Pressure, Arterial Diastolic Pressure and Rate Pressure Product of that the aged non athletes.
