    Heart rate response differs between ramp and step exercise tests. Ramp tests show lower heart rates (HR) for a given power output, impacting work capacity measurements like P170.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Cardiovascular Response

    Background:

    • Understanding heart rate (HR) dynamics during exercise is crucial for assessing work capacity.
    • Step-function and ramp-function tests are common protocols with distinct physiological responses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the heart rate (HR) response between step-function and ramp-function exercise tests.
    • To analyze the factors contributing to differences in HR response.
    • To evaluate the implications for determining work capacity, such as P170.

    Main Methods:

    • 12 healthy subjects underwent both step-function and ramp-function (20 W/min) exercise tests.
    • Heart rate (HR) and power output (P) were continuously monitored.
    • Analysis focused on differences in HR at equivalent power outputs and work durations.

    Main Results:

    • For any given power output (P), HR was significantly lower during ramp tests compared to step tests.
    • The difference in HR increased with higher power outputs and greater disparities in exercise duration.
    • HR differences were attributed to a lag component (2/3) and a drift component (1/3).
    • Consequently, power output (P) for a specific HR was higher in ramp tests.

    Conclusions:

    • Ramp exercise tests elicit a lower HR response than step tests at equivalent power outputs.
    • Work capacity metrics like P170 derived from ramp tests can be translated to step-test equivalents.
    • Incorporating a steady-state period into ramp tests enhances the precision of this translation.
