Why the study?
Clinical applications of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in children and adolescents are expanding to evaluate unexplained physical capacity impairment and objectively determine functional capacity.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a valuable non-invasive tool for assessing functional capacity and physiological responses to exercise in pediatric patients.
CPET may better reflect pediatric health than resting measures; leaves open need for prospective validation in specific conditions.
Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a kind of method that enables an integrated response to the physical effort of the different systems of children and adolescents organism. The field of clinical applications on children and adolescents is widen to assess impairment of physical capacity with an unclear cause and to objectively determine functional capacity. The higher consciousness of better interdependence between exercise tolerance and health condition than with resting measurements is crucial.
