Key Points

  • The aim is to present reference values for exercise tests with continuous load increases according to sex, age, and weight.
  • Conducted exercise tests on an electrically braked bicycle ergometer.
  • Included 188 randomly selected Swedes aged 20 to 79 years.
  • Classified reference values by sex, age decades, and weight with varying exercise capacity.
  • Reference values correlate with sex, age, and weight adjustments.
  • Systolic blood pressure values at different workloads are included.
  • Levels of exercise capacity are detailed, showing how they decrease with age.

Abstract

Reference values for exercise tests with continuous increase in load are presented. The exercise tests were performed on an electrically braked bicycle ergometer by 188 randomly selected Swedes of both sexes who were between 20 and 79 years of age. The reference values are related to sex, age (in decades) and weight and classified in decreasing levels of exercise capacity. Reference values for systolic blood pressure at different work loads are also given.
