The purpose of this investigation was to compare the results from 4 commonly used maximal treadmill stress tests: Balke, Bruce, Ellestad and continuous multistage running protocol. The results compared serial and maximal heart rate, metabolic demands and ECG determinations. Fifty-one healthy men, 35-55 yr of age, volunteered for this study and were dichotomized into trained and untrained subjects. Regression analyses showed all the tests were highly correlated. No significant differences were found between tests at maximum for .ovrhdot.VO2, heart rate and blood pressure, except for .ovrhdot.VO2 for the Balke as compared to the running protocol (39 vs. 41 ml/Kg .cntdot. min.). The Balke protocol showed lower values at maximum in .ovrhdot.VE and RQ than the other 3 tests as well as the most gradual rate of progression in MET cost (0.5 METS/min.). The increase for the Bruce and Ellestad tests was from 1-1.5 METS/min, and a rapid initial increase (9 METS in the 1st 3 min) made the running test undesirable as a screening method. Although serial plots of heart rate and MET costs were similar to those previously reported for different population samples, the present data further refined these values. Finally, a nomograph comparing treadmill time and .ovrhdot.VO2 max for the Balke, Bruce and Ellestad tests was developed from these data.
