Goalball is a specific sport for people with visual impairments. The game requires high levels of tactile, auditory and spatial awareness and it demands intermittent high intensity efforts supported predominantly by aerobic metabolism. Thus, the aim of this research report was to analyze the aerobic capacity of the goalball athletes of south country team, after a period of stoppage (vacation). For this purpose, three goalball players, aged between 27 and 49 years old, and practice time of 9 ± 6 years participated in the study. The test used for the evaluation was the modified Beep that has been validated to measure the aerobic capacity of athletes with visual impairment. The data were treated using descriptive statistics. The VO2max estimate was calculated using the modified beep test validation regression equation. As a result, the players presented VO2max of 33.1 ± 9.5 ml/Kg.min. When analyzing individually, only one of the players has aerobic capacity similar to that of elite athletes from male teams in the country. It is concluded that the aerobic capacity of these players needs to be better developed to accord the demands required in the game that can assist in a better performance.
