Physical work capacity of older women and men living in rural communities of eastern Ontario, Canada.
The physical work capacity of a population of older men and women living in rural municipalities of Eastern Ontario, Canada, was similar to the one observed on a group of Swedes living in the urban district of Uppsala. The physical work capacity test determined at 150 heart frequency per minute (PWC-150) in older men and women did not appear to be heart rate/age-related. There appeared to be no relationship between physical stature and heart rate response to physical exercise in the men and women tested.
