Abstract
Heart rates for four fishers (Martes pennanti) were recorded while the animals were on a treadmill. Gaits used and the average speeds at whi ch they occurred were: walk (3.4 km/h); trot (5.2 km/h); trot and half -bound combination (8.3 km/h); half-bound with some bounding (9.4 km/h ). Exercise heart rates increased linearly with speed and ranged from 120 beats/min at rest to 389 at the highest test speed. All regression models of heart rate and speed for individual animals and all animals combined were statistically significant.
