Key result
A 12-week aerobic training program in pre-pubescent children did not significantly influence left ventricular morphology and function compared to matched controls.
Why the study?
Does a 12-week progressive aerobic exercise training program improve left ventricular morphology and function in pre-pubescent children?

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Short-term aerobic training yields no LV changes in pre-pubescent children; leaves open longer-term or alternative regimens.
George et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Healthy pre-pubescent children (n=59). Cycle-based aerobic exercise training vs. Matched controls was evaluated on Left ventricular morphology and function (LVIDd, LV mass, SV, E:A ratio) and peak VO2. A 12-week aerobic training program in pre-pubescent children did not significantly influence left ventricular morphology and function compared to matched controls.
