Modification of the Master's two step test was attempted in order to apply for the rehabilitation of cardiac patients. Our modified method was called "Variable Intensity Method". In this method, the intensities of the exercises were classified as 25% (I 25%), 50% (I 50%), 75% (I 75%) and 100% of double two step test's trips (I 100%). Three minutes of exercise period was employed in this method. Patients who had suffered from myocardial infarction within three months of more than six months before and healthy individuals as control were examined in the present study. Heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), pressure rate product (PRP), Katz' cardiac effort index, electrocardiography (ECG) and O_2 consumption (VO_2) of the subjects were assessed.Comparison was made between our "Variable Intensity Method" and ordinary "Variable Duration Method" in which intensity of exercise was 100% of double two step test's trips, and its durations were set to 25% (D 25% ; 45 seconds), 50% (D 50% ; 1.5 minutes, single two step test) and 100% of double two step test's duration (D 100% ; 3 minutes, double two step test).The results were as foolows : 1. HR, PRP, Katz' Index and VO_2 increased clearly correlated with the work load in the "Variable Intensity Method". On the other hand, in the "Variable Duration Method", VO_2 and carbiovascular responses except BP were significantly higher at D 25% or D 50% than I 25% or I 50%.2. There were no significant differences between patients with old myocardial infarction and age matched healthy indivicuals in terms of all the parameters. However elderly people with or without myocardial infarction showed some significant differences from young healthy subjects in HR, diastolic BP, Katz' index and VO_2.3. Among the seven patients in recovery phase of myocardial infarction, only one could tolerate all work loads. The increase in the work load had to be given up in most of the cases because of fatigue in the lower extremities, abnormal responses of ECG pattern, excess responses of HR, and inability of stepping in the scheduled speed.The results collectively showed the usefulness of "Variable Intensity Method" for cardiac rehabilitation. This method was safe and simple to perform and those advantages should be appreciated.
