Are submaximal cardiovascular responses to treadmill and cycle ergometer exercise different between children and adults?
Children exhibit different submaximal cardiovascular responses to exercise compared to adults, characterized by lower cardiac output and stroke volume, which are related to smaller heart size rather than the exercise modality.
Turley et al. (1997) studied this question.
