Description
To determine normal values for the exercise variables heart rate, blood pressure, maximal workload, physical working capacity index, J point displacement, and ST segment slope, we stress tested 405 healthy children. We analyzed the data for four body surface area-determined groups, to discover whether there were any racial differences between healthy white children and black children. There were numerous racial differences in blood pressure, maximal workload, and physical working capacity index; there were no differences in the heart rate values. The incidence of false-positive J point displacement was less than or equal to 3% when the PR isoelectric line method was used. The ST segment slope in healthy children was always greater than zero at maximal exercise. Thus, norms for exercise variables must be expressed in relation to both sex and race. The nomograms presented in this report provide an easy-to-use set of normative data for cycle ergometer stress testing in children. © 1982 The C.V. Mosby Company.
