Summary
Aim of this study was to evaluate reliable guide values for heart rate (HF) and blood pressure (RR) with reference to defined sub maximum exertion considering age, gender and body mass. One hundred and eighteen healthy but non-trained subjects (38 women, 80 men) were included in the study. For interpretation, finally facts of 28 women and 59 men were used. We found gender differences for HF and RR. Further, we noted significant correlations between HF and age as well as between RR and body mass at all exercise levels. We established formulas for gender-specific calculation of reliable guide values for HF and RR on sub maximum exercise levels.
Zusammenfassung
Ziel dieser Querschnittsstudie war es, zuverlässige ergometrische Richtwerte für die Herzfrequenz (HF) und den systolischen Blutdruck (RR), bezogen auf definierte submaximale Belastungen unter Berücksichtigung von Alter, Geschlecht und Körpermasse bei untrainierten Personen zu erarbeiten. Im Rahmen eines betrieblichen Gesundheitsförderungsprojektes wurden 118 gesunde Personen (38 Frauen, 80 Männer), ohne besondere sportliche Aktivität in der Anamnese, in die Studie eingeschlossen. Statistisch ausgewertet wurden letztlich Daten von 28 Frauen und 59 Männern. Es finden sich sowohl für die HF als auch für den RR Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern. Frauen zeigen auf individuell vergleichbarer Belastung eine höhere HF, während Männer höhere RR Werte aufweisen. Die submaximale HF korreliert, unabhängig von Geschlecht und Körpermasse, negativ mit dem Alter. Es zeigt sich ein positiver Zusammenhang zwischen dem Körpergewicht und dem systolischen RR auf allen Belastungsstufen. Mittels Regressionsanalyse erarbeiteten wir geschlechtsspezifische Formeln zur Berechnung von Richtwerten (mittleren Schätzwerten) für HF und RR im submaximalen Belastungsbereich.
