Similar hypoxic slowing of VO2 kinetics and HR responses occurs in children and adults; hypothesis-generating for maturation-independent physiology.
Does hypoxic exercise alter oxygen uptake and heart rate kinetics differently in children compared to adults?
Hypoxia during exercise produces similar slowing of VO2 kinetics and delayed heart rate responses in both children and adults, suggesting these metabolic and cardiovascular responses do not undergo significant maturation.
Springer et al. (1991) studied this question.
