Exercise responses were obtained from 149 children and young adults (average age 14.5 yr) and divided by sex and body surface area (BSA): children with BSA < 1 m2; children with BSA 1-1.19 m2; males with BSA .gtoreq. 1.2 m2; and females with BSA .gtoreq. 1.2 m2. Total work, mean and maximal power outputs were more affected by body size (height) than age in children with BSA < 1 m2 and in males and females with BSA .gtoreq. 1.2 m2. Mean systolic pressure increased up to 64% above the preexercise supine value at peak effort, with the level of mean maximal systolic pressure having a positive relationship with body size (height), power output and preexercise sitting systolic pressure in all subgroups except children with BSA 1-1.19 m2. Mean diastolic pressure increased up to 24% above the preexercise supine value at peak effort. ST-segment depression of 1-2 mm was recorded in 12.1% (18 of 149) of the population at peak exercise. These changes occurred in 8.9% of all males and in 16.9% of all females (P > 0.1). The data reveal the importance of sex and body size in the clinical interpretation of exercise responses in growing subjects, provide a reference for objective evaluation of subjects with or without cardiac abnormalities and provide a guide for careful monitoring of subjects during an exercise study. [Exercise tests are becoming an integral part of the diagnostic evaluation of children and young adults with cardiac disorders].
