“…In comparison with values given by the American Heart Association (Fletcher et al, 1990) our women and men both achieved 104% and in comparison with the normal values given by Wasserman et al (1994) the women reached 134% and the men 121%. This means that our reference values in general are somewhat higher than the values published by others.…”

A group of healthy men (n ¼ 81, 20-80 years) was randomly selected from the local municipal register to achieve an even distribution in age. Data were compared with those obtained in a similar, previous study on women (n ¼ 87). The subjects were encouraged to cycle until exhaustion (19 on the Borg scale) when maximal load, heart rate and systolic blood pressure were recorded. Maximal load (W max ) was related to age (years) and height (m) using a non-linear function:Maximal heart rate (HR max ) was described by a similar function:The maximal systolic blood pressure (BP max ) was described by a linear function based on age: BP max ¼ 0AE505 · age + 192. Similar functions for the women are also given. It is suggested that 80-120% of the predicted maximal load can be taken as a reference interval for both men and women and similarly 90-110% of the maximal heart rate. In this study, 84% of the men reached a maximal load within the reference interval and 93% maximal heart rate within the reference interval. The reported values for maximal load were 104-132% of the reference values published by others.

“…19 Additional Research and Future Issues There is a large body of knowledge on exercise, but data on exercise and its effects on the cardiovascular system and long-term survival are limited. The responsibility for conducting research lies with government, private health agencies, the insurance industry, employers, universities, and medical schools.…”

“…People tend to be more sedentary with aging, and differences in physiological responses to exercise may contribute to differing interpretations of exercise test results (5,6). Exercise testing guidelines have recommended that more data be obtained regarding exercise testing in elderly persons (7,8). We therefore studied patient outcomes following exercise testing in male veterans, and compared the results in elderly and younger men.…”
