Marinov1, S. Kostianev1, T. Turnovska2, 1 Department ofPathophysiology and 2 Department of Hygiene & Ecology, HigherMedical Institute, Plovdiv, aim of this study was to compare classical Balke and Bruce protocols with our modification of Balkeprotocol in pediatric cardiorespiratory diagnostics. The modification of Balke consists of nine stages per 1 minat a constant velocity of and increasing elevation from 6% to 22% in 2% healthy children (mean age= years; BMI= ; mean 95% CI), divided intothree groups of 20 children each, matched by age, height and BMI performed integrative cardiopulmonaryexercise testing using one of the Treadmill protocols mentioned. At the end of each exercise increment andthroughout the recovery period the children were asked to rate the perceived exertion (RPE) using the BorgCategory Ratio scale - results showed that Balke Protocol had the longest duration ( min.)
Vol. 27 (2003) pp-pp 3 ratio (RER). The system was calibrated before each test. Heart rate was monitored electrocardiographi-cally (Hellige, Germany).
