This study examined the Maximum Oxygen Consumption (V02maJ during competitive season of Liga IPT 2013 Division 2. Measuring the V02max was an early fitness monitoring for the Universiti Teknologi MARA Pahang football team (Pahang Tigers) in their new division. The high level of aerobic capacity could give a positive effect during match performance. These covered the capability of more running distances and involvement with the ball in the matches. It has been suggested that midfielder have superior V02max than other positions due to requirement of controlling the ball and running distances as the key role in football. This study involved a total of 15 football players from the three different positions. The mean agewas 20.1 (± .64) years. The mean body weight and height (± SD) were 61.8 (± 2.65) kg and 170.6 (± 6.49) cm with an average trained 4 to 6 times per week. The estimation of V0 2max was measured through 20-m multistage shuttle run (bleep test). This fitness test based on the completion of repeated shuttle run between two lines apart, it refers to fitness requires running speed incremental and dictated from bleep test CD-audio player. Overall mean for V0 2max between 42.6 and 45.1 ml kg-'min-'and it was slightly higher in midfielder. The mean and standard deviation of player's physical characteristics will be presented. Meanwhile, the main comparison of V0 2max among the players based on their position in the team, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been used to determine the differences. The results will be a good indicator of major fitness requirement for the team while competing in the new division of Liga IPT 2013.
