The effects of oxprenolol, a non-selective beta-blocker with moderate intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA), given by the Oros delivery system, on resting and exercise heart rate and blood pressure have been compared over a 24-h period with those of atenolol, a beta 1-selective blocker without ISA. The effects on maximal and submaximal exercise tolerance and perceived exertion were studied in relation to the level of beta-blockade. 9 healthy subjects were treated with placebo, atenolol, 100 mg/day and oxprenolol Oros, 16/260 mg/day in random order, each for 5 days. Progressive maximal exercise tests and submaximal endurance tests at 80% of maximum aerobic exercise capacity were performed 2, 5 and 24 h after intake of the drugs. The reduction of blood pressure 2 and 5 h after drug intake was less pronounced after oxprenolol Oros than after atenolol, but by 24 h after the last dose the effects were similar. The peak level of beta-blockade (i.e. reduction in maximal exercise heart rate) was similar after oxprenolol Oros and atenolol. The minimal level of beta-blockade 24 h after the last dose was greater after oxprenolol Oros than after atenolol. Maximal exercise capacity and submaximal exercise tolerance were impaired after both beta-blockers. The subjective feeling of exertion did not differ between placebo, atenolol and oxprenolol Oros when related to the relative work load, except after the first minute of exercise, when the rating of perceived exertion was higher after atenolol.
