Introduction: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture (ACLR) in athletes tends to increase annually. Maximal Oxygen Consumption (V̇O2 max) and Body Composition (BC) characteristics influence athletic performance. Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the correlation between oxygen consumption and body composition in professional soccer players and non-athletes with and without anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Methods: A Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) was performed to measure the cardiorespiratory capacity of 15 professional soccer players (1 ACLR), age 22.47 ± 3.16 years, weight 74.69 ± 6.04 kg, height 177.97 ± 6.85 cm and 22 non-athlete participants (7 ACLR), age 22.27 ± 3.09 years, weight 68.1 ± 10.28 kg, height 172.44 ± 5.66 cm. Results: Soccer players had higher VO2 values (L/min) than non-athletes 3.55 ± 0.33 vs 3.23 ± 0.38 (p < 0.05). Heart rate (/min) was significantly higher in non-athletes than in soccer players 184.35 ± 14.11 vs 182.91 ± 14.04. In the non-athletes group (CG), participants without ACLR had higher VO2/kg (ml/min/kg) than ACLR. Conclusion: Most of the body composition variables correlated significantly with V̇O2Peak (L/min) in both groups. These results demonstrate that an adequate body composition influences the oxygen consumption capacity of professional soccer players and non-athletes, this is relevant in athletes because as stated in previous studies, fatigue is a risk factor for ACL injury.
