Cardiovascular responses to static-dynamic work in young men, middle-aged athletes, and coronary patients.

SummaryThe cardiovascular responses to combined static-dynamic work were measured in three groups of subjects: young men, middle-aged athletes, and coronary patients. The highest work capacity was found in the middle-aged athletes and the lowest in the coronary patients. In all instances the highest values of the rate pressure products were found in the coronary patients and the lowest in the middle-aged athletes. This study indicates that systolic blood pressure response to static-dynamic work increases with age and that lifelong endurance training and being a non-smoker does not seem to alter this.ResumeLes reponses cardio-vasculaires a un effort combine, statique et dynamique, furent etudiees dans trois groupes de sujets: jeunes hommes, athletes d'un aˇge moyen et malades coronariens. La capacite de travail la plus forte fut observee chez les athletes d'un aˇge moyen, la plus faible chez les sujets coronariens. L'indice «frequence-pression» le plus eleve fut toujours enregistre chez les coronanens, l'i...
