Abstract
Datas of the circulatory system of a longitudinal/cross-sectional study concerning the development of maximal aerobic power in youth are discussed under the aspects of population parameters. Cardio-vascular response patterns (heart rate, oxygen pulse) are presented in relation to age, sex, relative load and relative aerobic power. The different or similar results of some other population studies are discussed with reference to the background of population and physical characteristics, different loading procedures etc.
