    This study establishes reference values for electrocardiographic responses during maximal treadmill testing in healthy men. Findings provide a baseline for interpreting exercise-induced cardiac electrical activity changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Exercise Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Maximal treadmill testing is crucial for assessing cardiovascular health.
    • Establishing normative electrocardiographic (ECG) data during exercise is essential for accurate interpretation.
    • Previous studies may lack comprehensive ECG parameter analysis across progressive exercise intensities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define reference values for ECG variables during maximal treadmill testing in healthy young men.
    • To characterize the typical electrocardiographic response to progressive maximal exercise.
    • To provide a dataset for comparison in clinical and research settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty healthy young men underwent maximal treadmill testing.

  • Four bipolar ECG leads (CM5, CC5, Y, Z) and standard V5 were recorded.
  • Computer processing analyzed ECG parameters including wave amplitudes, intervals, and ST segment slope.

    • Main Results:

    • Reference values (10th, 50th, 90th percentiles) were determined for ECG variables.
    • Medians of ECG variables were graphically presented to visualize exercise-induced changes.
    • Percent change in R wave amplitude at V5 was tracked for individual subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • This study provides valuable reference data for the electrocardiographic response to maximal treadmill testing.
    • The established percentiles aid in distinguishing normal physiological adaptations from potential abnormalities.
    • These findings support improved interpretation of ECGs during exercise stress tests.
