What are the normal heart rate, blood pressure, and functional responses to treadmill exercise in healthy men?
The study establishes normative percentile values for physiological responses to treadmill exercise in healthy men, aiding clinical exercise testing interpretation.
Heart rates, blood pressures, and functional responses to submaximal, maximal and postexertional treadmill testing are presented for a group of 704 healthy, asymptomatic aircrewmen referred to the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine. The indicated measurements are individually described by the use of percentiles. These data provide the practicing clinician with an accurate and complete description of the response of healthy men to treadmill exercise.
