Abstract
Cardiac performance during bicycle ergometer tests with increasing loads was examined in 12- and 14-year-old boys at different stages of puberty, professionally trained in basketball and swimming, as well as in boys of the same age without regular athletic training. In all these boys, the cardiac chronotropic response grew in intensity with the power and duration of exercise, being maximal in 14-year-old adolescents untrained athletically. During exercise at 0.5 W/kg, the cardiac chronotropic function stabilized within the first ten seconds; at 1.0 and 1.5 W/kg, the heart rate increased more or less monotonically throughout the entire test period. In 12- and 14-year-old swimmers and in untrained boys, the threshold value for an adequate hemodynamic response was found at 0.5 W/kg. The patterns of stroke volume adaptation to increasing loads were shown to be dependent on athletic specialization and independent of age. During the first 30 s of exercise at 0.5 W/kg, cardiac output increased significantly over its basal level. Subsequent load increases to 1.0 and 1.5 W/kg were accompanied by progressive growth of this parameter during the whole period of exercise. Upon transition to a different workload, the increment of cardiac output decreased.
